Cape Forchu Lighthouse, Nova Scotia
Shot on a Nikon D750 f8 @ 1/250 ISO 250 as a raw image and processed in Aurora HDR.
Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia #1
Shot on a Google Pixel 6 Pro and post-processed in OnOne Photo Raw 2023 (exposure, sun flare) and Aurora HDR (Cool Landscape filter).
I also processed it like the one below. Which one do you like better?
Impressionist Conversion – Manitoulin Island Drone Shot
This photo was taken with my DJI Mini 2 drone in Raw mode, converted to an Impressionist painting in Corel Painter 5, then post-processed in Nik’s Color Efex Pro to give it a wintery look and apply a frame.
Leaves Under Ice
These leaves had been floating on the water when it froze in a bucket in my yard, which made for a picturesque photo!
The photo was shot with a Pixel 6 Pro, the colours were deepened using Aurora HDR, and the Beach Bypass effect in Nik Colour Efex Pro was used to further enhance the image.
Hamilton Harbour Panorama – Colour or B&W?
The photos for each panorama were taken by a DJI Mini 2 drone shooting in raw (DNG) format. ISO was fixed at 100 and the aperture for each photo was 2.8. Shutter speeds varied from 1/2000 to 1/3200 S. The photos were then post-processed in Luminar 4.
I’m partial to the monochromatic version myself. What about you?
Drone Landscape Pano – Wellington County
I’ve been following drone technology closely since consumer-grade drones hit the market, but I waited for the sweet spot of good camera quality and relatively low price.
When I saw that the DJI Mini 2 was below $700 (CAD) and that it could shoot Raw and HDR I took the plunge, and I’m so glad I did. I really feel this will transform how I shoot many of my photos.
Here’s an example photo, shot just off Hwy 6 in Wellington county, Ontario. It’s a crop of a 7-photo panorama, cleaned up a little in Lightroom, and then further processed in Aurora HDR to give it some punch.
Drone Sunrise #0303: Three Different Styles
Here are three different versions of the same picture. Which do you prefer?
Playing with the New Drone
It’s so cool having a camera that you can position anywhere. It opens up a whole new world in photography for me.
Man with Sticks on his Back
The original of this photo had a lot more detail, but I liked the way it looked when I applied a “toy camera” effect to it and converted it to this shade of black and white.
Shot on a Nikon J2 back in 2014 with a 10-33 mm lens, f5.3 @ 1/400 @ ISO 100.
Guiding the Cows Home
Revisiting an old photo from 2014. Shot on a Nikon J2 with Nikkor 10-33 mm lens, f5/6 @ 1/100 @ ISO 400 through the back window of the car I was riding in.
I’m not sure where the cows were or if the boy regularly takes the cows for a walk so they can eat elsewhere, but it was quite a unique photo opportunity!
It wasn’t a very clear picture which is partly why I processed it in this fashion, but I felt the black and white processing gives it a more nostalgic, timeless look.
