REDs

by GIULIO57

Date June 1996 late afternoon. Camera PENTAX LX. PENTAX Lens Zoom 40-80 mm (set at 80 mm). Tripod and mirror blocked-up; shutter release cable to avoid vibrations. Film Kodak Elite 100 ISO set at 125 ISO(slide chrome). Manual Exposure. F16. Shutter speed: 1/30; 1/15;1/60. I have scanned (EPSON Perfection 3200 scanner) these three different slides. Then I fused in Photomatix 3.2. So doing the file I got is an HDR one. At a first glance I was impressed from this mix of colours(red for poppies, yellow, green) and contrast between dark & light areas. Place: Piano Grande, Castelluccio da Norcia, Umbria, Italy.By the way: Many THANKS to Morpheus 71 my teacher of HDR that a few years ago suggested me a few tutorials.

Lush, rich and vibrant colours, a real feast for the eyes, such latin flair
