Bernard, i can see u adopting naymeh style more n more :devil:
Can see the exposures quite even out thru out the img
hw many exposures layered blended for this??
Eh, thanks but I think very very different (his is so much smoother, while mine is like big bulldozer).
What I did was HDR two images to get the grass area and bridge area. The sky was too bright and lost a lot of details after HDR, especially since I was trying to put the emphasis on the two aircraft warning lights on the Flyer, so...
I blended in an original photo which had a darker sky (I figure the ground could still be bright because it is lit up by artificial lights) - had to do this three times before was satisfied coz
1st attempt - halo from making the bright parts too near the sky (for trees)
2nd attempt - dark shadows surrounding tree from doing the opposite of above (for sky)
3rd attempt - used a smaller brush
Added one more layer with almost full saturation, but only applied to the aircraft warning lights area on the Flyer. Other things I did with the Flyer includes overlaying a High Pass Filter (1 pixel) on it selectively, so that the lines on it is more prominent.
Initially I chose the darker sky pic but didn't come out so nice, so I replaced it with a lighter sky. This is the
darker sky pic.
:thumbsup: Exposure and all very nice!
