Neville's Pic of the Day

[Neville Bailey]

What editing are you doing? It's got a very sci-fi feel to it, almost a CGI look.

I used the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique to take this shot. In other words, I took 3 rapid successive shots, one at the correct (average) exposure, one two stops under-exposed and one two-stops over-exposed.

I then processed the three shots with Photomatix HDR software, which merged the three shots into one shot, taking the best parts of each exposure, so that the final merged shot was correctly exposed in all areas.

Finally, I polished the picture off with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.

Awsome Neville!

There must be something about accountants and photography. Maybe they are better at calculating the angles, exposures etc. My daughter is also an accountant and has photography as a hobby.

Hmmm, I wonder what today's Pic of the Day will be?

I'm driving from Durban to Johannesburg later this afternoon, so who knows what opportunities will present themselves?
