Good Night Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is a HDR image made from 9 frames. I had 3 RAW files with expo values -2, 0 and +2. These I adjusted into 9 JPG-s with values from -2 to +3 in 0,5 EV values. I did an automated HDR in Photomatix then toyed a bit with the Tone Mapping settings. After the HDR was done (saved in 8 bit JPG) I opened it in Photoshop, made the bw conversion with the help of Gradient Map (better than simple Desaturate because it allows more contrast). The last step was a bit of coloring in Curves and the frame.

It took me about 10-15 minutes.

Great picture and great PP treatment. It's full of grey tone and constrast and the B&W convertion give a more natural result than a color one.
Very well done,
Jean-Claude
