HDR Photography – Waves of Light
Blending Light HDR Photography “Waves of Light.” Here’s a shot that I took in Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona! One thing that I learned while exploring the canyon is that you need to take your time and look at every angle! There are photo opportunities everywhere you look, so you need to slow down and really soak everything in. During my exploration, I noticed that this sandstone wall seemed to be glowing from behind! The sun highlighted the natural lines of the canyon walls and created an interesting “wave-like” effect! Luckily I managed to snap a couple of photos because before I knew it, the color had faded.
Post Processing “Waves of Light” – I took three bracketed exposures EV (-2, 0, +2) and I used my Lightroom Presets on a single exposure (EV, 0) to get some interesting and creative looks. Next, I combined the original three EV (-2, 0, +2) RAW files into Aurora HDR and Photomatix Presets to create a couple of interesting HDR versions! Finally, I mixed all my different “versions” into Photoshop to get the final image!
