Vale House Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is one of many HDR shots i took on my holiday in Covilha i drove up to the mountain which is a heaven to me, i was at the ice vale and found this house tough i would share it with you, i merged 7 pics all together and then cloned some of the strange highlights to make it look more ''normal''

Tech: Canon 400D Sgima 10-20 polarizer.

Hi Joel.
Superb composition of this quite breathtaking scene. I like the way we can look down the valley, and also the dramatic sky. The old house and the grasses provide good foreground interest. I think the colours are lovely, but perhaps a bit over-saturated to be entirely realistic. The contrast and sharpness are good, and of course there is the added pleasure of seeing sunlight and shadow on the slopes. You certainly got an unusual effect from the HDR work, but this may not appeal to some members. I quite like it if it is not overdone.
Regards,
Andrew

Ola Joel,
The stone house makes a fine focal point, while the long valley seems to go on forever, I'm uncertain as to the effects of HDR; are the very strong colors an HDR effect?SAA, Pat
