Excellent work, Barry. Love the ambiguous scale of the subject matter.

Excellent work, Barry. Love the ambiguous scale of the subject matter.
Thanks again Tom...Sometimes it's hard to get a sense of scale unless you can relate to something within the image like a person or a house :)
Cheers Barry

Also taken yesterday...Tonemapped

Nice tone-mapping, Barry... effective, but not garishly over-the-top.:thumbup: Which software do you use for tone-mapping?
Many thanks Tim,
I am still currently playing around with Photomatix, it’s not exactly the most natural looking of all the tone mapping programs out there!
I figured if I could tame the OTT aggressive effects with this program (worse case scenario) I could then apply the same techniques with other more natural looking tone mapping programs.
I generally make no more than 3 tone mapped images now, each one concentrating for either the highlight areas like skies, another for the mid tones and a darker version for the shadows.
I will then compile these 3 images as layers on top of the natural original worked up image...Fading the opacities to taste, then erase/dodge/burn different parts of those layers to accentuate different parts of the image...Once happy I will then merge the 3 layers together with the original.
It can be a little time consuming but I quite like playing around with this sort of thing, it’s a bit like assembling a jigsaw but in 3D!...Hope this helps...Cheers Barry

Michiel, I’m expecting a parcel today from Photospecialist - Netherlands

I will check it over for any problems...I don’t mind a tiny bit of distortion but one thing I can’t abide is those fireballs!!! :bugeyes: :ROTFL:
