A forecast of fog followed by a sunny day, sent me down to Hay Wood for a morning of photographs. I took my tripod and my Canon D5. Setting up the camera (Canon 5D) for the pictures I took 5 pictures of the scene by bracketing with 5 pictures at -2 EV, -1EV, 0 +1 EV and +2 EV. The five pictures were blended in Photoshop to give a HDR output. Comments on the pictures posted on social media were that the scenes took on a “painterly” look. This is the successful look that I was hoping to achieve.
