Rashad, glad you liked it....I was lucky to see it and be prepared....couldn't get around the pine tree in the middle. Horo, my images are "LDRI's" but sufficient for my purposes. =) A range of 10 f-stops would be impractical for me.
Ah - +/- 1 f-stop doesn't make an HDRI, a DRI (dynamic range increased) at best. But it IS better than only one shot. I usually cover 10 f-stops for an HDRI.
Amazing sky!
Hi guys, glad you liked the image...I wasn't sure if it qualified for the Space folder as it is on Earth. I actually did take the pic on break the other evening....we went from 111 degrees F on Monday to 80 F & beautiful clouds on Wednesday. Horo, it's an jpg based on an HDR based on 3 jpgs +/- 1 f-stop usingDynamic Photo HDR to put them together. (my Lumix-2 can only do +/- 1 f-stop on Auto). David, did you mean use an HDR as the landscape or use a mesh(i.e.preset)? Sounds interesting & fun. I just put the image in the material of a plane perpendicular to the camera & saucer.....totally winging it.
@Horo. Thanks for that, but I think maybe you are being too generous. @Megacal. If you do the landscape, I'm preparied to tackle the sky and clouds. Then the front edge of the saucer would be reflecting a matched portion of sky colour.
Nice photo, flying soucer blends in nicely. Now you do this in Bryce. Seing just the upper part, I thought these were David's clouds. Obviously, nature started to copy them ;)
