I had a lot of fun working on this project this week. First I took three photos of the same scene. I shot one photo where the camera said to meter, then I under-exposed one shot and over-exposed the other shot. Then I downloaded the free DynamicPhoto trial program. With that program I combined the three images and added some filters. After all - if you're going to edit a photo on the computer you should go all the way and make it look really edited. See post above this one for photo information.
Here's the first one I did. I applied just the Eye-Catching filter to this one.
These two photos are the same except for the filters on them. The right one has the Eye-Catching filter and the left one has a high contrast filter. I liked parts of both of these so I then combined them together and got this
I also added the Eye-Catching filter to this one and burned the edges a little in Photoshop to give the pictures kind of a Holga camera look. Holga cameras are $20 film cameras with only three focus settings and two lighting settings (sun or shadow) The film they use is square rather than rectangle, but the edges go blurry and black. I just added the blackish corners to this photo so it's not a true Holga image, but it reminds me of it. I think this bottom image is my favorite.

That picture is so cool, it doesn't even look real! I really liked it and you did a great job!
This in an amazing photo! The contrast is incredible, and the clouds and mountains look great. Wow!
Hi Stacy: You have some great photos and it is great to see more of your work. I am not sure why, but your images are all loading very slow, but maybe it is my connection right now? However I have not had the same problem with the other blogs I have been looking at. Be sure you size down your images according to the tutorial and save them for Web and Devices. I love your HDR sky and colors. Nice work on all of them!
