Rainy Day Shots

Before

After

I had seen this shot a couple of times coming up the mountain from town. It was raining and that's what made it more interesting. When it's dry the warm color of these leaves don't pop. So last week it was raining pretty hard and I knew I could get the shot. I set up my camera under the back door of my Jeep Cherokee. Here is an example of the shot using HDR (High Dynamic Range) plus tone mapping, these are plugin filters. The top image shows you what it looked before HDR. I just love using these filters for the range you just can't get with conventional digital.
