Icy debris
The whole Europe seems to be shivering with cold at the moment. Here in the UK, we just had a dusting of a few inches over the weekend. I was out with my daughter sledging and on the way back took a detour along the beach. While the weather was bleak, there were some interesting snow formations on the sand to shoot. Here are a couple from yesterday. Hopefully I will get a chance to shoot some more before it all melts away..
Quick and easy HDR
I found a great little piece of software a while back, called HDRtist. It comes as a free and simple faux HDR package or you can buy the “Pro” version for not a lot. While PS and other editing software has plug ins a plenty for this sort of thing, HDRtist just does what is wrtten on the tin. Quick, simple and very easy HDRs and HDR fakes from single images.
It will open Raw files directly, so no need to go round tripping through a conversion first. Here are a couple I did the other day, from the same beach session in my last post.
