Cape Lillies

Evey year in winter the Western Cape of South Africa gets these Arum

lilies and last year they put on quite a show. Together with backdrop

of Table Mountain which is probably the most recognizable landmark

cape town it pretty much sums up a cape winter

Thanks for viewing

I really like this photo!

Did you take more shoots and then you put them togheter in post-production?!

So it is a HDR?

I didn't understand...sorry..!

Simple method, place the one exposer ontop of the other in layer form in Photoshop. Create a mask, then gradient fill so it contains the correct sky's exposer with the correct forground. Very much like a grad filter would do.

HDR won't give a natural look and leaves it a bit pastel like. The ore simple the blend, the better the result is IMO.

hope this helps

Yes, now i perfectly understood.

Is what I thought at the beginning, I just didn't catch what you said before...

One last thing: "IMO" stands for!?!?

Thanks a lot!
