Today’s image is from the RAK beach. The image was converted to monochrome using Photoshop black and white layer. I decided on a B&W conversion for this HDR image because of the color tones that existed both in the rocks and the sky.I exposed 7 brackets at 1EV steps using the built in functions in D800 and merged them as a 32 bit tiff file using Photomatix Pro 4!. Tone-mapping was achieved using HDR Efex Pro 2 and additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6! .If you haven’t given these products a try, I highly recommend them! Happy Diwali to all the Indians reading this blog.
