Description

We took the cameras out for a ride today. My Nikon have misbehaved and I still haven't left it with the doctor. I will though...not just yet. Anyways...we took off to the ruins of Roche Abbey since we both fell in love with the place the first time we went there. This is a small corner of it all that I got hooked on. Lets say that frog perspective is easy since you just have to stand there and aim above you :p This photo was first converted into 3 tifs with different exposure, then opened up in Photomatix and made to a HDR image. Then back to Photoshop CE2 to play around with the contrast a bit. So nopes...it doesn't look exactly like this ;) Thanks for your comments on the piccie of me yesterday. Robin enjoy taking casual piccies, which often result in something like that one. Either I looked pissed off or something else silly. Anything but smiling. And thanks for peeking at this one. It's always highly appreciated :D

The contrast works. If darker shadows were used, those worked too. Makes blue and greay something of a treat.
