Snowfall at The Wherry

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 22 December 2010 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Early morning picture taken at "The Wherry", Marsden, South Shields.

Very low light, very low temperatures and three hand held auto-bracketed shots to make this HDR in Photomatix Pro 4. If you look close enough you will think this is quite noisy, but look again and you will catch the falling snow.

Makes the Big Sur look tame eh?

Beautiful, not sure on the Big Sur thing though this looks a little tame to me> LOL! Have you ever tried one shot and then three or more edits, saving each edit and changing the exposure on each edit. I tried it the other day one photo saving each of five edits changing only contrast on each shot and then letting Dynamic Photo put it together for me, turn out pretty welll.

22 Dec 2010 9:58am

@J.R.: I have tried that in the past but didn't find that I was able to extend the dynamic range sufficiently. I have found my best HDRs come from five to seven bracketed exposures working exclusively with the RAW files in Photomatix.

not sure that the surf lives up to your billing or will worry our American cousins but that light was something special and worth the early alarm call!!
