There’s a new kid on the block of HDR Photo Processing, meet Aurora HDR Pro from MacPhun. This new software is a stand alone Mac only HDR machine! With some custom presets for different looks and starting points. You can do layers, tone mapping, export to your favorite apps and more! Go check it out!
Below was my first edit using Aurora HDR Pro!
I had a quick visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few weeks back… more for relaxation than photography this time around. But I still had my gear with me and managed to shoot a few photographs during the trip. This is one of the Old Mill around sunset while a couple guys were fishing in the water below. The Old Mill is a really neat place to visit if you’re ever in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
Last week I had the opportunity to test the new product Clarity from Topaz Labs, and I must say I like it! The layout is like most other products from Topaz Labs and the version I had was limited on the presets. With only a couple included for landscapes (in the beta version) but both seemed to do a pretty good job at adjusting the contrast in the image. I used it on a few images that I had yet to process, these images were only processed using the Clarity software. Below are a couple photographs that I edited using Topaz Clarity, the included presets were used as a starting point and some slight adjustments were made from there.

I had a great time with the Exposure Roanoke group on a photo walk at the Greenfield Center in Botetourt,VA. The theme for the walk was bird photography, as we walked around the lake we identified birds and took some photographs. But before long my eyes left the bird scene and began to wonder around the landscape. The rolling hills made for some different photographs and I captured a few that I think are worth sharing. Below is one of the sun setting just behind the tree over the hill. This was a 7exp bracket using my Canon 6D which was then edited in Photomatix Pro (my favorite HDR software), Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz Adjust. This also was a good test for my new tripod from 3 Legged Thing so far I like it. 🙂
