Digital Blending – Dynamic Range – GIMP
Notice: Undefined variable: read_more in /home/scottp12/public_html/wp-content/themes/traction/archive.php on line 34
When wanting to combine two or more photographs for a higher dynamic range (HDR) or correcting an overexposed photograph, I mostly use programs like Photomatix, however it is sometimes too difficult or frustrating fiddling with the settings for minutes getting nowhere. So, there is an easier way and in certain cases much better than an HDR especially if you want to avoid those really surreal photographs – Digital Blending is the way to go, you can be much more selective with your increases/decreases in dynamic range and get more realistic results.
French Countryside – Towns and Castles

Here is a set of my favourite shots that I captured while travelling around the French Countryside. There are so many medieval castles and towns dotted around the place, and each little town is unique in some way, with beautiful streams passing through them or thriving markets with bazaar items being sold.
This is actually two photographs stitched together in PTgui (perfect stitch as always :P), Just a little town in the beautiful Southern French Countryside.

I’ve selected some of the better shots that I took in Paris. I’ve done a lot of HDR on this set :)
I adjusted the levels a little to boost the colours and detail in the structure.
