In line with Our amazing summer, I though I'd doing something appropiate for the Months worth of rain we seem to be having daily

Can't tell if its a photoshop mock up or a real shot because of the heavy HDR'n.

Does look pretty cool though and deffinately representative of the recent weather!!

GaryK26 · 17-07-2007, 9:15 PM

I'd say its a mock up - a bloody good one though

Loving the colour / detail on the phone box.

vulkan75 · 17-07-2007, 9:22 PM

Of course its a mock up.

.....Glad it made you look twice though means I did something right

Looks like a painting - Nice bit of Photoshop though. It'd be interesting to see how realistic you could make a non-HDR verion look.

Very Clever

Excellent - sums up the summer very well!

Non Hdr version...That Liquid would like to see

Which do you prefer..??

h4rri · 18-07-2007, 6:59 AM

Very nice, you got Digital Photo this month then too

Prefer the HDR one.

**senu** · 18-07-2007, 7:49 AM

Like both ......
and on this occasion find the HDR one is more "evocative"
Clever stuff!

I wish i could do stuff like that. Need to get my photoshop for dummies out

Not quite..

The curent Digital Photo magazine (Aug 2007) has a tutorial by Phill Hall called "Displacement maps" which go through the technique..
That does not detract from the merits of Vulkans work and subsequent HDR though

Sorry ..our HDR tutorial is here

How to do HDR
.

.. what the displacement maps method do is allow you to create a watery reflective foreground
which is what vulkan did before applying HDR to it

A few of the of the many HDR threads
HDR Please explain...
This HDR nonsense

I think having a play with Photmatix will demystfy a lot of it ..

The only other thing is that people take pictures right from the start with different setting with later AEB or HDR in mind
