[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
f16, 8secs, 10mm, hoya ndx400 + gnd soft filter

our group, the mideast snipers, an online photography community in uae, conducted a clean-up drive in the wadi of hatta. as one of the founders, we organized to help the environment by picking up rubbish around the area and at the same time enjoying photography.

this was a single raw image converted to three jpegs with exposures of -2, 0, +2 then processed thru photomatix pro for tone mapping (hdr). i'm trying to achieve the surreal but natural feel post-process.

thanks for viewing.

HI Jeff,

Good information. Trying to do some thing for the nation. Nice PIC and Good CLO….

Awesome result! Tack sharp from foreground to background. Great texture and tonality.

The reflection mid bottom part is a bit too much for me though... but superb image nonetheless...

Excellent capture Jeff. Beautiful composition. Excellent sharp focus. Great tones, PP work and awesome effects. Well done. Regards - Adil.

A superb POV to create a well balanced composition and nice PP work to bring out all of the details through the 3 exposures. A simple landscape shot but a very effective one with a great technique.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Jeff,

I think you achieved your objective on this shot. It does not have any of the negative effects of HDR processing like Photomatix can instill, such as the cartoon-like artifacts on the edges of the subjects. This one has a nice, deep depth of field with an even exposure overall, which is my objective when creating an HDR image. The composition is well thought out and interesting. I'm no expert, but I think your photograph is top notch.

Thanks for sharing!

a dream location! may gamit kang Cokin GND filter? I can see that nasty pink colorcast (upper right) Cokin filters are notorious of.
