David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Prior to departing Hosteria Lago Grey, we were rewarded with several rainbows. The first one was at dawn, with only the red and orange colors. Later on after the sun rose a bit further there was a full rainbow over Lago Grey and the glacier.
Rob, our guide walking the high-wire at a construction site near Hosteria Lago Grey in some pretty high Patagonian winds. Images taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 28-120 mm f/4 lens. Animation created using Google Photo.
Rainbow Over Patagonia. Along the road to Lago Grey in Chile. Composite of two images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 23 mm lens (ISO 400, 23 mm, f/16, 1/320 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, AutoPano Giga Pro 4, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
Early Morning Double Rainbow in Patagonia. Comparison of HDR (High Dynamic Range) Processing Programs. Digital camera sensors are not able to deal with the full dynamic range that the human eye can process. The same is true with computer monitors and printers. There are several commercial programs that will combine over and under exposed digital images to provide a composite digital image that tries to express the wider dynamic range of the eye. I continue to evaluate the commercial HDR programs. The following images are of an early morning double rainbow taken at Lago Grey in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile during my Photography Workshop in Patagonia with Thom Hogan (10-January-2011). The inital image is the original single exposure. This is followed by four HDR images processed with 1) Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro, 2) Photomatix Pro, 3) Nik HDR Pro, and 4) HDR Express Pro. Please reply with comments on which HDR image you like or don’t like.
