Botanical Abrstract #3, HDR


These pods in the Missouri Botanical Garden Climatron are about the size of a human head, as as you approach, look like a prop from a sci-fi movie more than anything else.  This monochrome comes from Nik Silver Efex Pro after first processing three 1-stop brackets in Nik HDR Efex.



So, if you like red, this is the picture from which the monochrome was made.

Exposure: ISO 200, brackets around f/22 @ 1.0s, Auto WB, tripod

Dates: Capture - October 9, 2008, Processing - November 13, 2010
Processing: RAW file in Lightroom 3, Nik HDR Efex, Photoshop CS5 and Nik Silver Efex Pro
