A Foggy Morning
Dec 27, 2018 09:25:21 #
A friend and I drove early AM (a couple of hours away) to an area planning on shooting Sandhill Cranes. We arrived just before sun-up to find the area covered with fog. As we were almost ready to leave (the cranes were not flying in our direction that morning), the sun started penetrating the fog, and here is a combined shot of three, shot toward the NE, of the end of a long small island. The 'sunrise with fog' images are probably the best of the morning.

A very gentle, pleasing scene. Were the 3 photos a simple merge of exposure bracketing? Wondering if you did any masking to reveal/hide colors or details?

Thanks for the looks and comments. Linda,the image is a simple merge of images, using ps and no, I didn't do masking but did edit the final with general editing sliders.

I enjoy foggy scenes.

I went back to the originals and found that this shot is really a combination of nine shots. I shot vertical, using bracketing for three shots, processed each through Photomatix for HDR's then combined the final three. I do this process as I am editing a set of images, and so I had already stored away on external hard drives the originals but had this small images for 'sending' still on the browser. So, Linda's question makes sense to me now......these are not just three images combined as I said earlier, it is actually 9 images, processed through an HDR process into three images, then the three combined using photo merge in PS, cropped, and edited. Hope this makes sense.
