HDR Island Sunset

Just outside of Savannah, GA is Tybee Island which is a small 3 mile island, which happens to be the site where this weeks picture was taken. This was the best sunset during the week I spent on the island, when I processed this photograph I pushed the colors to the extreme side of things.  I like to do this every once in awhile, I can’t help it I just love color! I have another set of brackets of the same sunset taken at a different location and when I process that one I will try and keep it realistic. I have posted lots of new photographs to my portfolio within the last week at www.nfirebaughphoto.com you should head over there and check them out. Prints are for sale with prices starting at $7.99 for 8″x10″ prints.

Just Another Sunset

I had a great time with the Exposure Roanoke group on a photo walk at the Greenfield Center in Botetourt,VA. The theme for the walk was bird photography,  as we walked around the lake we identified birds and took some photographs. But before long my eyes left the bird scene and began to wonder around the landscape. The rolling hills made for some different photographs and I captured a few that I think are worth sharing. Below is one of the sun setting just behind the tree over the hill. This was a 7exp bracket using my Canon 6D which was then edited in Photomatix Pro (my favorite HDR software), Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz Adjust. This also was a good test for my new tripod from 3 Legged Thing so far I like it. 🙂

Burwell School

 

My son has been playing travel hockey this season, which has meant a few trips to North Carolina. These trips have allowed me to visit some new places and take a few good photographs of some historic locations. This past weekend we visited Hillsborough, NC and one of the places we stopped was the Burwell School which dates back to the 1800’s.  This house was once the home of the Burwell family and also Elizabeth Keckly (Keckley) who was a very successful business woman and created 19th century dresses for many prominent people in the US. To learn more about this historic site in North Carolina please visit this site http://www.burwellschool.org/. Below is an HDR image I shot inside the house which I left at a slight angle because I liked the feel of the picture. Some may disagree on this decision but hey why not try new things and try to stand out? This was created using a 5exp bracket shot using my Canon 6D and my Promote Control the processing was done in Photomatix Pro, Lightroom 4 and Topaz Adjust.
