This is an old church in New Bern, North Carolina. The steeple and trees formed a beautiful upward reach.
Processing: I used nine exposures taken at .5 ev intervals from -2 to +2 ev. Nik HDR Efex Pro was used for light tone mapping, basically blending and structure. I used Hue/Saturation and High Pass filter in Adobe Photoshop to polish off the image. Then, since I had some pretty extreme distortion from shooting at 20mm, I used Photoshop Lens Correction to eliminate some chromatic aberration and then Adaptive Wide Angle to straighten the horizontals and adjust the verticals just a bit for a more realistic view.
Equipment used: Nikon D700 with 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 lens set at 20mm, f/8, ISO 400. Handheld.
Nice composition and processing, Mark. The framing of the trees add to this quite well.
Thanks, Jimi. Appreciated!
I really like the perspective Mark. Well done.
Appreciate the comment, Edith. Thanks!
great POV and processing Mark!
Thanks, Jim.
Great shot. Love the trees and the detail on the church.
Thanks, Pam. Most of that is thanks to PS CS6.
