This was processed using my laptop and before I take a long trip I like to make sure my Mobile PC is running fine. I also like to make sure that the image I produce from my laptop is coming out good in terms of colors and exposure. If you&#8217;ve ever processed and photo using a laptop you might notice that it looks way different when you view it on your PC. This has a lot to do with the brightness of the screen. Laptop screens tend to be brighter by up to 4 stops sometimes even more. So as you are processing your image you might not notice this. But as soon as you view it on a regular computer\u00a0monitor\u00a0the image is way darker than what you saw on your laptop. To remedy this I bring my brightness down half way on the slider. Then during post processing I will adjust the exposure up a little before final output. This will usually get me in the ball park with what I want.<\/p>\n<p>This photo was taken at the<a href=\"https:\/\/captainkimo.com\/portland-maine-lighthouse-at-cape-elizabeth-during-sunrise\/\"> Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine<\/a>. The lighthouse you see is called the Portland Head Light. From this one park you can see about 7 different lighthouses, but don&#8217;t hold me to that, my memory is a little\u00a0vague\u00a0from the freezing weather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Learn How to Create Photos Like the Captain with&#8230;<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"secrets-to-mastering-hdr-photography\"><strong>&#8220;Click Here for Captain Kimo&#8217;s eBook Membership&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Software I use for processing my photos:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"hdr-review-photomatix\">Photomatix Pro<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Used for creating high dynamic range.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"topaz-photoshop-plugins\">Topaz Plugins<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Photoshop enhancement plugin.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"picasa\"><strong>Picasa<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Free photo management program.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"photoshop\">PS Elements<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Used for post processing HDR images.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003739DVY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=captkimo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B003739DVY\">Lightroom<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; For adding the finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#Google Adsense-3]<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f6f6e9; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 18px; padding: 10px; border-width: 1px; border-color: #800000; border-style: solid;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Get Captain Kimo&#8217;s Monthly Newsletter!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\nEnter your email below, then click button to join.<\/p>\n<form style=\"padding: 1px; text-align: center;\" action=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify\" method=\"post\"><input onclick=\"this.focus();this.select();\" type=\"text\" name=\"email\" value=\"enter email here...\" \/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"uri\" value=\"hdrphotography\" \/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"loc\" value=\"en_US\" \/><\/p>\n<div><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Click to Join\" \/><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HDR image from Cape Elizabeth, Maine at Fort Williams Park of the Portland Head Light.
