Winter stroll

**JustinRyan215** · 01-27-2013, 05:55 AM

We got a little bit of snow here on Friday evening, so I got my butt outta bed early on Saturday morning, before the sun had a chance to ruin the winter wonderland, and, although I missed a beautiful sunrise (because I was gauging how much cloud cover there was by looking out a west facing window...). I am pretty pleased with the images that accompanied my frozen toes home.

Here are a few that I transferred to my iPad while the main computer was working on a pano.....

And my favorite, thus far....

This last one, I originally shot with the intention of processing as an HDR, but I am pleased with the image processed through Snapseed. I may still run my images through the HDR software that is part of Canon's DPP, but I know that it won't be crucial for it to come out as beautiful.

These are really nice Justin. I think # 2 is my favourite, but love them all.

"HDR software that is part of Canon's DPP" ??- what is this? I wasnt aware DPP had HDR processing capabilties. Is it something new, or have I always been missing something?

I think I updated my software from Canon's website...I actually found it by accident. I clicked the tools pull down from the top menu, to send an image I was working on tp photoshop, and there it was!

It does a nice job to! It has a few presets for some of those artsy looks, as well as sliders for almost infinite adjustments....

Thanks for that - I just found it. It didnt even know it was there -I will give it a try. DPP is underated I think. I always preferred it to Adobe Camera Raw for raw conversion until ACR came out with Process 2012

I am running CS3, and ACR doesn't support the raw files from my T1i. It was just fine for the files from my XTi, but I would have to update to CS5 for the files to work....and I don't have that kind of money, or even that much need for photoshop. I can do the brunt work in DPP and if I need more, transfer the image to photoshop.
