shooting giraffe
5 seconds before the rain
Posted by Giovanni (Milan, Italy) on 25 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is the last one of this series. Again an HDR from 7 different exposures. Five seconds later it was really pouring and I started running with my family and my stuff (camera, tripod, lenses, etc) to the mountain dew you can see in the background.

this is superb - especially given the HDR processing work that you had to out into this photo! what makes it really special is that it does not look artificial to the eye - the final effect is still very natural and yet very clean with a great range of tones and light!

This was well worth the wait ! What a transformation and the view is just as spectacular. Congrats on how you have stayed in control of the HDR, too - restrained enough to retain reality.

Che dire...spettacolo Giovanni! Scusami se non mi faccio vivo con i commenti ma il tempo è sempre quello che è! Non so quale filtro tu abbia usato ma il risultato è davvero ben riuscito. Colori e toni gestiti alla perfezione. Ci vediamo presto a Milano? io sono a Lyon quindi, basta organizzarsi per un week di foto. A presto, Riccardo.
