Original temple picture

Glass Temple, 2/13/2011 – 3:23:01 PM, Rexburg, f/3.1, 1/30 - Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

All edits are explained in this photographic process paragraph. For this image, Glass Temple, I first got the idea doing scanography. I used one of the glass cubes with the 3D image inside. I chose this picture because I found it such a unique take on something we in this area all know so well. I love how you can see so much detail on the temple, and detail even on the away facing side. I blacked out the sides of the cube, set it on a flashlight, and took a macro shot of the temple inside the cube. After taking the image you could see some reflections and imperfections on the glass, and so I used the patch tool and the clone tool to clean up the background. I then sharpened the image to try and give the dots a more defined appearance on a larger print. After cleaning up the image to where I was satisfied, I used the shape tool to create a white rectangle around the image on its own layer. I then masked the center of the rectangle to create a border with it and I then applied a Gaussian blur to the shape layer to create a white vignette around the temple image. Then I lowered the opacity of the border so the attention/focal point of the image would be the temple itself and the border would lead into it. At first I had a double border, made much the same way, but for simplicity sake when putting it on a canvas I made just a single border. I tried switching back and forth from the colored image, to a black and white, but it had more of a glow with color so I left it in full color rather than black and white. I did try to bring out the white color of the temple with the sats/levels some as well.

Here is my multiple picture HDR. I used 15 combine shots to form this panorama. I was going to post a link to a full sized version, but it was taking more time to load than I have to wait. It was about a 400 Mb picture. The detail in the full picture is incredible though. I used photoshops HDR for this image. I used the other as well, but ended up sticking with photoshop. The other, link in brain honey, has much more vivd colors and is much more eye popping, but photoshop does an amazing job matching pixels and providing image clarity.

Here is my single shot HDR. I used the dynamic photo for this one, because lining things up wasn't exactly an issue with one shot. I love the availability of the sliders in dynamic photo, similar to bridge for lighting and colors. With this image, I didn't adjust much other than brightening up the picture.
