PAW 25

PAW 25

This week, I just couldn’t resist a little trickery, or more appropriately a little Photoshopery – but actually done with HDR and Photomatix tone mapping followed by tweaking in Photoshop.  I’d been wondering about making an HDR image when using slow shutter speeds to get a blurred falling water effect.  This one was made with seven shots.  Of the seven shots used to make this HDR image, the shortest exposure – 1/40 second – was needed to get the sky correctly exposed; however, the water fall was not blurred. The longest exposure – 1 second – definitely blurred the waterfall and burned in the shadows as well.  I suppose it is a little “over the top” as most HDR shots tend to be but still sort of interesting.
