My mom used to tell me that water resembles wealth in a way therefore this fountain shot is especially dedicated to all my flickr babies! :D Wishing all of you a wealthy & prosperous 2009 ahead! May all your dreams come true this year! :)



This shot was taken during a morning rest stop about 3 hours from adelaide. I have intentionally captured the sunlight as part of this shot to get some lens flare as i'm a sucker for it :P However it turns out there are too many so i cloned off quite a bit esp around the fountain area & just leave those big colourful ones behind! :P Have a wonderful weekend ahead!



View LARGE On Black to get prosperity & wealth :D

About



The Fountain at Renmark, South Australia



The Shot



Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) taken handheld using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens



Photomatix



- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option



Photoshop



- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (blues) to adjust the tone of sky

- Brushed the flowing water to give it a more silky feel

- Applied slight dodging along the fountain

- Stamp cloned away some obstructing lens flare

- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
