It’s been just over a year since I began dabbling in HDR so I’ve decided to go back and see if I’ve improved since then (September of 2012).  This was one of the first images I ever processed using HDR techniques and I look at it now and think “what the heck was I thinking?!”  There are so many things that make me cringe about this image and it’s a good thing that I still have the original RAW files so I can try again.  If there’s one thing I’ve definitely learned, it’s don’t process/post-process too soon.  Be patient with the images and take my time.  Possibly to the point that I don’t even look at the images that same day.

A scene out in Frederick County, VA along Middle Road. I’ve ridden by this so many times and had always wanted to stop and photograph it. I just was a little too eager to get to the HDR process.

With a little bit of patience and lots of trial and error over the past year, I revisited this image.  See more of my HDR images (many, of which, I’ll revisit).  Order a print of this image
