Challenge: Free Study 2008-01 (Advanced Editing VI ("Time Lapse"))
Collection: 2008
Camera: Sony DSC-F828
Location: The park
Date: Jan 18, 2008
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400
Date Uploaded: Jan 22, 2008

 Some think the title "Gold Rash" better suites this photo.

Bumped into a photography class students taking pictures of sorts. They were probably looking for their gold captures when I saw the opportunity and grabbed mine.

PP: Rotate, Crop, Pseudo-HDR(*), Channel mixer, USM, Scale

(*) Pseudo-HDR is a workflow in which a single 8bit JPEG capture is duplicated multiple times. Each copy is applied with different Curve or Level filters to create different "exposures". The copies are used as layers for an HDR workflow. Unlike using a 12bit RAW capture as a basis, this process doesn't gain any extra information, and is just a convenience tool

Wow. I think either the PP was a touch heavy here, or htis is one really bright park! there's a little bit of skew that needs correction, visible in the pole on the right.

I havent seen leaves in months :)

As for the processing, i find that the processing on the blue above the trees looks unnatural. For a more natural look, use a polarizing filter.

A bit too saturated for me - the sky and tree look OK, but the bottom 1/3 of the shot looks odd.
