Sunset Barn
Well, we have no shortage of prairie winter scenes in this area, it’s just a matter of bundling up and getting out to shoot! This image is a bit of a twofer, I managed to get a little strip of the front range of the Rocky Mountains in at the horizon. This started as a 4 frame HDR image. I dropped the +2 of the 5 frame bracket because there was no detail left in the image. After HDR Efex Pro 2, it went into Color Efex Pro 4 and Viveza 2 for further massaging. The point of all of the post processing was to create an image that resembled what I saw in my mind’s eye when I shot the original images. This is what Ansel Adams used to call “previsualization”. I wanted to keep some light on the side of the building to show some detail, leaving the front to go darker.
In the best light…
Beautiful color and atmosphere! You did a great job!
