Old farm cart found under a tree in the corner of a field. I haven’t done any HDR stuff lately, and this is the kind of subject I like to use the tone-mapping side of the technique. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.

Very cool shot Brandon, i like the way the sunlight plays on the cart.I´m finding more and more,Tonal-Mapping does a great job on a single image (i´m assuming it´s a single image) Was that done with Photomatix or CEP´s Tonal contrast filter? You´re lucky to live in a place with so much photographic material close to you!
Thanks, Adrian. This was a 3 exposure blend (1,0,-1 ev). Since this was in the deep shade, I needed to subdue the contrast and shadows a bit and done in Photomatix. The overall color was done in Lightroom.
This is exactly the type of subject that to me just begs for tone mapping. The tonal contrast filter in Color Efex Pro is just the ticket too.
Thanks, Jeff. And yeah, that CEP contrast filter is wonderful, hands down my favorite in that plug-in.
Reblogged this on Conceptual Art.
Really digging the old wheel, nice job on the HDR, love that it’s not over-processed. 😀
Thanks, Dave.
Nicely done. I find that a lot of HDR/tone mapped images tend to be heavily over-processed and/or over-saturated, with a very unnatural look to them (like CGI) and often littered with artifacts (eg halos), but this is subtly done and looks good.
Nice tones. Makes me warm just lookin’ at it.
