The Mill Pond


The Mill Pond, originally uploaded by Campobello Island.

Yesterday was a cloudy but mild first full day of Autumn and a great day for a hike and some photography. I love the light and the reflections that occur on cloudy days, the very best for picture taking. I took a three hour hike and passed by Mill Cove at about the half way point and took these two HDR photos on the Mill Pond. If you don't know what an HDR photo is let me explain a bit about these two pictures of the Mill Pond. Each of these photos is actually three pictures of the same shot each taken at a different exposure and later spliced together using Photomarix software package. If you want to try this for yourself there is a free version of the software available for you to try just google Photomatix and download it, with the free software there will be a watermark on each of the photos that you process using the program.
