A day by the lake

Posted on März 18th, 2014

On a sunny march day like we had this weekend, I was walking around this little lake. The sun was shining and the insects are flying through the picture and the nature starts the bloom. How beautiful can a spring day be.
I was just ready to publish this image as my litle wouwou was eating a small whatever from the dog food shop, given by my wife. And my spring feelings are gone! Booaah this stuff stinks like hell! More spring feelings tomorrow, now I have go to get a gas mask, open the windows and spray a whole bottle of an air freshener…

Ducks on the lake

Posted on Januar 21st, 2014

It was one of the first spring days in the year, as I was walking around the lake. On this picture I used the first time a new technique to eliminate ghosts in a HDR image. It is a 3 shot bracket series and although it was less than a second to take all pictures, the ducks moved. And after the HDR processing you’ve got ducks with multible heads like hydras. To fix this, go to photoshop or a similar programm, lay the hdr image and a second image, which fits best in brigthness, behind it. Take a layer mask and rubber it through. After that correct the brightness with a brightness layer until you can’t see a difference at the borders e voilà a perfect hdr image without any ghosts.
