Olentangy Sycamore


Olentangy Sycamre, originally uploaded by Tom Arbour.

This evening I played around at creating HDR images again using shots taken last evening. This time, I downloaded the full blown version of photomatix and wow, was I happy with my tone mapping results! Isn't this image cool? To generate an image without watermarks, one needs a license, which will set me back about $100. For now, I'm satisfied with just playing around, but digital photography is incredible. It wows me every day.

Today was a fantastic day at Shawnee and I'll have pictures of our trip tomorrow. Be sure to stop by and see what fascinating creatures Shawnee had to offer.

  4. Thanks Mom.

    Guy: Thanks, I've visited and given my 2 cents...you definitely have one picture of a carpenter bee.

    Thanks Mary- Isn't that cool? That's what is so cool about tone mapping an HDR image- The light parts and the shadows of an image can all look good.
