the detail in 3 is great, love that you can see the greenish ice under the snow midway up.

not sure I love the processing on the landscape, but it's a RAD shot.

Ben - what don't you like about the processing? I am curious...

**jacobsen1** · 03-09-2010 11:37 AM

the HDR processing (or whatever it is) makes the snow look like it's from a movie set, or marshmallow fluff?

**smizar** · 03-09-2010 11:45 AM

Was not HDR, I used the Nik Color Efex Pro -> Tonal Contrast effect. Might be able to tone that down a bit....

**jacobsen1** · 03-09-2010 11:48 AM

yeah, they're tonal contrast is very similar to photomatix's tonemapping IMHO, which is what gives that HDR look.

Cool set! This is making me want to get back out hiking again. Where in NH is this?

**smizar** · 03-09-2010 02:48 PM

Thanks! This is right off the Rocky Gorge Scenic area on the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains region of NH.

**simmda00** · 03-09-2010 02:49 PM

Nice! I thought the area looked familiar!

**Warus** · 03-09-2010 09:04 PM

The detail and depth in 3 is fantastic.

+1 and the dog shots are awesome. He has a very pointy nose!

**smizar** · 03-12-2010 07:59 AM

Thanks! Samba's nose is very pointy indeed - we have yet to figure out what breeds she is composed off
