Mountain scenery from Iceland (HDR)

[Tillsilence]

Good day ladies and gentlemen!

This is my first post on these forums. I have just picked up a DSLR camera and I would approve of strong critique There are a lot of beautiful views around here during early winter, waiting to be captured properly. I am thinking in investing in some filters and a tripod early next year, but for now it's all stock.


I went for a hike to mountain Esja and took my new camera with me. I took this image when the sun was setting and shining through the gathered clouds. I tried to bring out as much of the "northern desert" feeling as possible during processing.




A bit farther down the trail, I took another one. This time I let the colors stay in the image, and brought out the deep blue colors in the clouds. I had problems with color noise that I could not fix 100% here (especially where the purple trees meet the snow), I suspect it is because the images did not align perfectly



Thanks for viewing!

Thanks! I have some experience with digital image processing but I got my first DSLR only a month ago or so.

Hello again! I ventured for a forest walk today and captured the magic of Icelandic sunset on film.
