Title: Straitsmouth Lighthouse Images
Post by: Remo Nonaz on September 16, 2015, 09:38:18 pm

I went ashore at Straitsmouth Island in Rockport, Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago and got a couple of keepers of the lighthouse there. All three images were hand-held HDR shots (the two brighter images are 5 shots, the darker one is 3 shots) merged using Lr Photo Merge > HDR. Other Lr enhancements were also made including using the Spot Removal tool to eliminate a large number of mosquitoes and flys that were in the images and biting me all over!

C&C Welcomed.

Thank you for sharing!

If I was being very picky I would point out the halo around the lighthouse from pulling the sky exposure back.

Also the greenery in the foreground has lost saturation due to exposure (the second image).

But of course, I can only point these things out because the photograph is successful!

I tweaked the color slightly and reposted I here. Any comments welcome!

I like it. Did you just increase the exposure overall or make more subtle changes?
