Nostalgia

Nostalgia

It’s no the most thrilling shot but this place brings back so many wonderful memories. when I was a kid I used to go around here with my grandparents and family to gather the mowed grass in hay stacks. From time to time I got a bit lazy and took a break to lay in the grass… I still remember the scent and warmth of those days… beautiful days.

This is also my first HDR using 3 .jpeg camera made exposures using the AEB function on the camera. Conclusion: camera made exposures give a way better HDR.

Edit :
-separate sharpening techniques for the sky (my High Pass way ) and ground (Unsharp Mask);
-merged the layers, doubled the resulting layer, set the blending mode to the upper one to Overlay(15% fill)( adds contrast);
-a bit of dodge tool to correct the light in the middle;
- curves;

Follow the link [link] download and check out the exposures so you have a better understanding of what was and what came out : )

I hope you like it. Feedback is encouraged
