It Wasn't Really This Dark

I shot these in Central Perkiomen Park about one hundred yards behind my house. There has not been any rain for a while, so these are very dry wetlands.

These are five-exposure HDR images, handheld, with three-stop steps. I suppose that means a fifteen-stop range from top to bottom. The processed result was created in Photoshop with the assistance of Luminar Neo as a plug-in, and I chose to make it substantially darker and contrasty than the metered exposure would have provided. The fox in the second image was inserted with Generative Fill in Photoshop.

A couple months ago I picked up a RF 100mm f/2.8 Macro L and I am putting it through it's paces to see what I can come up with.

Minimalism, Abstract, Experimental (and more...)

Tiny Visitor

I was recently back in the woods trying to take some wildlife photos. Sadly, I barely came across any birds that day and whenever I did, they were gone before I could even focus on them.
