Heavy Clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

View of River Merkys from the bridge on Alytus - Druskininkai road.
Taken at 16:06 facing east.
This is the result of 3 different exposures of 1/200 sec, 1/500 sec and 1/80 sec combined into one image to compensate difference in brightness between cloudy sky and the ground. The sky is taken from the 1/500 sec image (so that it would appear dark with details of the clouds clearly visible rather than over-exposed white), river surface from 1/200 sec image (it's darker than the sky, but still brighter than the trees), and everything on the ground from 1/80 sec image. Camera settings: 10 mm zoom, AV mode, ISO-200, +/- 1.3 EV exposure bracketing.

hi Linas,
a nice landscape, I like the light from the heavy sky upon the green grass and trees. And the river in the middle of the picture, like a dark mirror.

Hello Linas,

Nice HDR. You blend this picture manually in Photoshop? This picture have great detail in the sky and grass. The composition is well done. He has just one thing disturb me is dust in the sky at 1/3 from the right. It's very small, but my eyes fell on it and do not want to leave this detail.

Hi Linas,
A great result from your multiple shots. Brilliant dark clouds, luminous greens and shiny water. I've never tried doing it the way you did - I must try sometime.
regards
Ian

Hi Linas,
This shows how bad weather can give a good photo, with your expertise, of course.

Hi again, Linas.

I could spend a lot of time to say I like a lot this photo... but I prefer spend my time to say I envy you and I want to learn to do it.
What program do you use to join different pictures in one only picture.

Regards.
