Sunrise at Trillium Lake, Oregon 3 - HDR

Newer Older

Please click here to view this large!

This picture was shot on a tripod with five exposures (-4..-2..0..+2..+4EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.

Good thing I stuck around to wait for the fog to clear. Besides, the sun rising behind the trees made for some great sun flare shot. Presented in full HDR!

    Hi David,
    I'm the webmaster for www.wilderness.net and owner of the America's Wilderness Areas Flickr group. I'd love to use this image of Mt. Hood from Trillium Lake in our home page slideshow sometime in the next few months. I change the slideshow images every month or so to give our 150,000 monthly visitors new visions of wild places. You would be given credit, of course; your name would appear when you mouse over the picture. If you'd be willing to grant permission for this use, please send me an email to that effect to lisa@wilderness.net. Thanks for considering this request!
