About the Image(s)
Found this potential HDR scene at (LL Classic) that has thousands of cars, truck etc. I liked the wonderful colors nature gives these 70 plus-year-old farm instruments.
Taken in September 2011 using my D7000 Nikon camera with the 18-200mm 3.5-5.6 lens. Used folal length of 22mm, tripod with f6.3 opening andISO 640. It is a two stop 3 image HDR with speeds of 1/60, 1/250 and 1/1000. I removed background distractions with a sky that was similar plus eliminating a pile of weeds that someone dumped into the openings of the machine. Used Realistic setting with Photomatix 6 pro. darkened the edges and normal adjustments for the lighting.

Excellent impact. The lighting and colors work very well together to create something beyond the subject itself. The blend is great and the blue of the sky adds just enough of a counterpoint to the machinery. Great job on this. Posted: 09/12/2019 17:09:41
