Big congrats, Mike -- this was definitely a favorite of mine! Any time you feel like sharing, I sure would like to know some of the things you did to achieve this awesome look. #6081018Michael Umbreit June 19, 2008
Thanks so much! This is my best month ever! :) - MikeDeb - I don't remember everything that I did but I know I started with a RAW image and used Photomatix to get a psuedo HDR image and then did the tone mapping. I think there was some sharpening and probably a skylight filter after that. For me, the hardest part is getting the tone mapping set in Photomatix. I adjust the knobs so differently in that program each time and it always takes me quite awhile. - Mike #6081265
