Tone Mapped Portraits

I have been playing around with HDR and Tone Mapping over the weekend and I came up with these creations. I put these images through tone mapping twice to create a more stylistic result. I used Photomatix to create these, along with Lightroom and Photoshop.











These and my other HDR images can be found here.

HDR and Baskerville

I managed to find the Natsoft results from the weekends round at Baskerville. It was hidden in the wrong year (someone made a mistake). Anyway, here is a link to the results.

Here is one of my favourite motorbike shots from the weekend. More images can be found in the Baskerville 50th anniversary gallery.




Because so many cars were on static display I was able to take multiple exposure shots of some that caught my eye. By doing this I was able to create High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using a program called Photomatix Pro by HDRsoft.

Here are some of the images.







More of my HDR images can be seen in the HDR gallery on my web site: www.colbluephotography.com

Baskerville 50th Anniversary

Baskerville Raceway had it's 50th anniversary on March 1st and 2nd. I made the trip down on the Sunday and was pleasantly surprised at the great turnout of drivers and spectators. The program covered all eras of motor sport, including motorbikes.

It was a big thrill to see the cars of yesteryear turn some laps. Also, getting up close to these machines was fantastic! I have a gallery of images up on my site.

Here are a few shots from the day.







I still have quite a few shots to process, particularly from the pits and grid walk. So keep an eye out on my site for more images in the next few days.
