HDR image from the view of a small fishing village

From a fishing kampong (Malaysia)

Posted by Ziren (Singapore, Singapore) on 27 May 2010 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A "kampong" refers to a settlement smaller than a town - in other words, a kampong is a village. The people of this kampong mainly rely on fishing for a living, and so boats etc could be seen everywhere. *This is in Sedili, Malaysia.

I love how you have worked the light in this shot, the added drama in the clouds is tremendous.

Yes, Photomatix is my weapon of choice! I sometimes need to make a curves adjustment in Photoshop or add some dodging and burning for additional contreast.
