2/24/2011: Flood Tide Mousam River HDR 2

A second shot from the river side of Parson’s Beach the other day as the front passed through. Again, a three exposure HDR. The bit of road embankment (causeway really) in the left foreground provides a scale the last shot lacked, as do the visible houses. Still lots of drama in that sky, and the play of reflections and subtle colors in the water to catch the eye.

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent field of view, three exposures bracketed around –2/3EV, assembled and tone-mapped in Photomatix Pro, processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom.

Though I moved Pic of the Day from wordpress.com (the wordpress.com has been hidden behind the custom url for quite some time now) to a self-hosted WordPress installation during the day yesterday…and later links in the day pointed here…this is the first official post at Pic for Today (p4td.lightshedder.com). The site design is updated. Let me know what you think. I am still getting used to it and making adjustments.
