An experiment with Photoshop LAB… I took this photo during the summer, but the foreground was really dark. I used LAB to lighten it up a bit… it’s pretty nifty.

I Hate Spiders

f/2.8 – 1/100 – ISO 400 – 100mm – Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
Taken on the Torrey Pines hike during sunset. There were a ton of these nasty looking spiders hanging out among the cactus. Really made you want to stick to the path and not stray off it.

I’m not as happy with this one, but oh well… still trying to get a handle on what controls what in the Photoshop HDR Merge tool.
Torrey Pines Sunset

This photo looks more HDR… but I’m still experimenting… I like all the colors in the sky on this one, and the top half of the tree against the sky.
Torrey Pines

I bracketed a series of shots of this tree and rock, hoping for a cool HDR effect… looks like I need to experiment some more. The main thing I noticed was that the sky was more colorful after the HDR merge. I’ve got a few more bracketed sets from the short hike through the Torrey Pines State Reserve… I’ll see how those go.
