Carmel-By-The-Sea: Photos
The photos today are the HDR sceneries I did at Point Lobos State Reserve. The HDR compositions were combined using Adobe Photoshop. About half of my HDR sequences were ruined because the waves moved too fast so the photos had too much of a difference to be combined, but I did have a few good ones. I hope you enjoy viewing these! I have also put a few photography tips in this post, make sure you read them! :)
Thought the rock formations and flowers looked cool.
Photography Tip: The best places to take HDR photos is when there are a lot of colors around. See how in in the above photos there are blue, white, yellow, green, and some oranges? When choosing where to take an HDR sequence, you want to choose a place with lot's of colors.
Rocks and ocean. the reason the water looks so transparent is because I used a polarizing filter on the photos.
Photography Tip: I know I've gave this tip on a previous post of mine, but here it is again. Polarizing filters can help remove glare from water and shiny surfaces (like glass). The filters can also help saturate the colors in your photos especially blue skies. If you take a lot of scenery photos, a polarizer filter is highly recommended. Please note that that like most filters (except UV) cut out light, which means you must compensate with either: longer exposures, higher ISO, or wider apertures. Polarizing filters usually cut about 1-3 steps of light. It is also recommended that you aim for the filters that cost over $60 as cheaper filters may cause unwanted glare or uneven filtering. Remember, you get what you pay for! My favorite brands are B+W and Hoya. Both companies make very high quality optics. Please also pay close attention to the filter size of your lens if you are purchasing one.
Not a lot of comments today about the photos. LOL
