On Hutton Pond

 As the sun and thunderclouds spend the day playing hide-and-seek, her thoughts are focused on the patterns of RGB that flash on the screen, begging to be finessed and cajoled until colors and textures fall into place, coalescing into another masterpiece.
…but she is ever aware that the sun will soon tire of the game, and slip away for a rest…and as its retreat becomes imminent, she steps outside to bid the ducks, geese, the clouds…and the sun…another good night.  
   Just another day on Hutton pond.

  47. +Joe Cassano, I used a wide angle lens, set at about 23mm (full frame camera.. this would require about 14mm on a crop sensor). It's taken at f/22, which is not optimal for sharpness, but I wanted to get a long exposure to smooth out the water ripples (a neutral density filter would be better). 
      It's an HDR combined from 5 images from -2 to +2. Initial processing using Photomatix Pro, then pull all of the originals plus the Photomatix output into Photoshop and use layer masks to pull in some of the best parts of the originals. If  you haven't read through +Trey Ratcliff's HDR tutorial, that's a good place to start… then you can adjust to your own style http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial/
      Bottom line… take a lot of photos and try a lot of things. Experimentation is a great teacher.
