After some rain, hail and snow this morning, the sun came! Made a walk in the dunes. It was cold (warm for some of you) and windy, but very nice with all that sunlight. Can you see the man somewhere down there?
I want to learn creating HDR-images and here's an experiment. Below the original and a B&W version
Saved this image with 3 different exposures, generated a HDR image and did some tone mapping.
Before I read your comments I noticed the shadow detail, and that certainly is due to the pseudo HDR effect. The grass in the foreground really makes the shot for me; I get the effect that it's being blown by the wind, which can be seen also in the clouds.
When you get a chance try some bracketed shots and merge to HDR. I've found that different programs give different results for the HDR and the tonemapping.
Beautiful shot Henk-Jan (I hope that's right). Great job on the HDR. Love all the textures in this - the foreground grass is so wispy, and the fluffy clouds feel so soft and gentle.
Wow! You've really had the elements there this morning. What a lovely place to walk. Really like the B & W version. It seems to enhance the DOF and give more of a vastness to the terrain.
What a beautiful scene. Yep, see that little man way down there. I'm not sure if I prefer the colored or the BW version, they're both very compelling.
Love the whispy nature of the dune grasses, and that sky is awesome.
brilliant scene with that whispy grass in the foreground . and yes i think i can see the man .. great that he shows the perspective of your shot .. that sky is perfect .. love those clouds .. :)
What a beautiful place to visit. Personally, I am struggling with the current HDR craze. I am wondering if you could not have captured this same image with just a bit of patience and adjustment with the camera.
