HDR Photo from Curacao Island

Here’s an HDR photo from Curacao Island, got a little creative with the Gradient Map in Photoshop. Not sure if I’m liking it, I’ll wait and see if it grows on me. This is one of those processing styles that can go either way. I’m either gonna like it, or I’m gonna be wondering what in tarnation was I thinking. Regardless it was fun being creative and playing around with all the colors… and that’s what it’s all about!

Software Used for Processing Photo:
Photomatix
– Used for creating high dynamic range.
Topaz Adjust
– Photoshop plugin used to enhance details.
Topaz DeNoise
– Photoshop plugin used to eliminate noise.
Topaz Clean
Photoshop plugin used to smooth pixels.

Photography Style: High Dynamic Range
Digital Camera Used: Canon 5D Mark2
Lens Used: Canon 17-35mm f/2.8L USM
Photo Location: Curacao Island, Florida
