Feature Photo of the Week - The Chief at Twilight

Came across this unusual and visually entrancing photo of the Chief by Vancouver-based photographer Marcel Pepin. He gave me permission to post the image. Go to his Facebook website to see more stunning low-light photos.

The Chief at Twilight
9:00pm May 4, 2013


For the photogs out there, Marcel gave these details on how he created the shot:

3 frame HDR, EV (+1,0-1) processed with Photomatix pro and Photoshop Element 6
Nikon D7000 + Rokinon 8mm (f/3.5), manual mode, tripod
EV 0 = f/22, 20 sec exposure, ISO 100, at 8mm

Have to say its not my cup of tea. I think the HDR is OTT.

Jonny can't say I'm too familiar with HDR although I think we are seeing more and more of it. There's the risk of overdoing it. In my opinion it works well for these low light situations.
