photography from 1995 - present Providence

This photo was taken a while back ago. I brought it up to finalize it

and bring some meaning to that trip in April of 2004. I worked on

this image with two others that were exposure bracketed to bring out

the details in the shadows and the highlights. I know the horizon is

not level and the photo is not perfect, but I thought you would like

it nonetheless. As I go further and further in this digital domain, I

am realizing that mastering the software darkroom is critical to

bring the best out of one's photographs, and this is an example of

that process. I am still learning. Thank you for your critiques,

comments, and thoughts.

That's beautiful. How enhanced is it?

Thanks Jim. This photograph was created by combining three bracketed shots. They were taken by using AEB -1, 0, +1. I combined the three in Paintshop Pro to bring out the details in the white stone in the foreground, the details in the shadows on the yellowish rock in the front right of the frame, and also details in the trees. I then made a Gaussian blur layer to give it a slightly misty feeling. This was my first try at doing something like this, and I thought it worked reasonably well. The photo is not that great per se, but the technique worked well.
