About A backlit scenery in October, with my usual exp. bracketing technique to compensate the shortcomings of digital sensor latitude. Three RAW shots, handheld, exposed for the highlights and +1, +2 EV. Stacked with 100% overlap in PTGui/ Panotools, as PS layers, the foliage was dodged a bit with select > color range using layers. Some PS work, again, but I hope its not over the top...

In future you should take a straight forward shot of the subject before you apply the many levels you do to get to the above end product. This way I feel that people will truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail you apply to get to results. Great work - keep it up.

Shane, good idea. Here the shot +- 0 EV, straight out of the camera.

Not in the least "over the top" but I must say I am surprised it required so much work. The contrast doesn't look all that strong to me. I usually find that mist reduces the inherent contrast... That said, it is a beautiful and delicate photo with a lovely hint of warmth in the light coming through the mist...

Oh! Now I see you have posted one of the original shots. Hmmm. It was worth the effort but I'll let my original comment stand.

Great shot....................... .....................................

Roger, you are quite right with the narrow histogram/ low contrast of foggy sceneries. The range of the actual histogram did not exceed the formal bandwith of the sensor - but I have the impression that even 16bit RAW cannot be dodged and burned enough without loss of tonal quality, especially in the highlights. I had to burn the fog tones or dodge the foliage and the tree, the latter would have been acceptable (but bracketing is always better, IMO. UNtouched shadows are not the same as dodged shadows, and the original light parts, exposed to the right, look better than burned, previously brighter tones).

Cheers

Carsten

Beautiful scene. I love the little branch hanging down, it really gives the tree character.

Fog is so tonally delicate, which is why it's so great to photograph in fog! One can never get bored by it. The work you have done is certainly not over the top. Colour saturation is the first thing one notices if it is boosted abnormally (Velvia, ugh!). The next most noticeable thing I guess is contrast. This is a very fine colour study of a tree with fog.
