The Daily Snap – July 4
©Darwin Wiggett
This one is a three exposure blend (meter, +2EV, -2EV) using Photomatix’s Exposure Fusion which I think gives a more realistic looking photo than tone-mapping does in Photomatix. To find out more about how I use Exposure Fusion to make ‘natural’ looking HDR’s pick up the latest copy of Outdoor Photography Canada (shameless plug I know, but I think the magazine is really good).

Well done. I’m not a big fan of HDR because of the unnatural look but this looks very natural. I’m going to have to check out Exposure Fusion

I love photographing old cars but usually struggle to find an usual perspective. You have done so very well here. Great photograph.

The texture is beautiful and the composition makes me speechless. I recently purchased Photomatix and started experimenting the different processing options. I thank you for not only sharing your shooting techniques, but also post-processing techniques. Without reading your blog, I probably wouldn’t consider using Photomatix, because I am also not a big fan of HDR.

Cool shot and thinks for the tip, I’ll be sure to buy this month’s edition of the magazine.
