When There Was Water On Mars

    Very free interpretation of the subject using some local landscape and post-processing!

    Technical note: This is not a tonemapped HDR. Digital blending of 4 exposures using layer masks in Photoshop. Obviously followed by some radical color adjustments.
    Please check my Digital Blending Set.

    And if you have time, have a look at my Earth - Water - Sky Photoset.

    All my photos nicely presented on black on this very cool site called DARCKR.

      I almost guessed your title just from the thumbnail! I was thinking sunset on Mars... so just goes to show that you have captured the exact mood that you had in mind. Very dramatic and moody for sure!

    47. rabataller (56 months ago | reply)

      I think it is one of your best pictures ever !!!!!!!!!!!!
