Rock and Ice<\/h4>\n

Detail shots like this depend on the impact of the closely observed patterns that are natural in nature. I take it as part of the essential definition of being human\u2026this ability to make meaning of whatever we encounter\u2026to see pattern in the scatter of rocks and ice on a beach. When you add the ability to appreciate the beauty in those patterns, then we approach our divine heritage. Or at least that\u2019s what I think. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

This is another sudo HDR effect, with highly emphasized details, created in LightZone. It is not so much real<\/em> as hyper-real\u2026<\/em>an artistic as opposed to a realistic view. It is a subtle distinction, but one that easy to create in LightZone.<\/p>\n

In LightZone, I applied the Crisp look, and then adjusted for detail. I then used Relight and again adjusted for Detail. Sharpen. Local Contrast effect. Added Vibrance. All of this took only moments. <\/p>\n

And here, for comparison, is the Lightroom version with my standard extened range processing using Fill Light, Blackpoint, Vibrance and Clarity.<\/p>\n
