Happy Monday to you all. Here’s another Thanksgiving Day photograph from the rocky wilds of Veauwoo. This is another HDR creation, and one that takes a different approach to the idea than I usually take.
Ordinarily, HDR is good about evening out the exposure of a shot–bringing the underexposed and exposed into the middle, and as a side-effect it tends to enhance details, most noticeable in the sky. I think that sometimes, the default HDR application can result in a pretty flat image.
This one was my attempt to put some darkness back into the image, while trying to convey the cold dawn mood. I’m pretty satisfied with the results, enough that I’ll be doing some prints of this series to try and sell in Wyoming.
In other news, my schedule is not booked up for this month or next month, and I’m taking on all design work large and small. I’m working on pushing Clockpunk Studios to the next level, with new portfolio additions, a rate sheet page, and a new referral system intended to reward my loyal friends and clients who recommend clients my way.
If anyone has any thoughts about how I should create my referral system, please, share them in the comments. What kind of money would make you more likely to give out my information when you hear someone is looking for a designer? Some of you are amazing about this already, but I’m willing to sweeten the pot…
