This photograph is the result of combining a three-shot bracket of exposures into a single HDR file and processing the image two and three times. The 2x version was used as the base image and the 3x version was placed on top of it and masked so that it only appeared in areas that I wanted to emphasize. I also ran a few actions and masked them as well and applied a few hue/saturation and Curves adjustment layers as described in my new on-line HDR class.
Ben,
I have looking at Gary Lands photo work. It seems this HDR thing you teach may work doing sort of a "clone" of what he does. From what I have read about "what he does", my sill level is not up his lighting/composition skills. However, I would hope I could get somewhat of that "look" with some help in portrait work I am doing.
Will he HDR Class help or hurt? or do you suggest someone else or another DVD to help me?
Many thanks

Ken,
My HDR class will show you how I create many of the images I've been posting here on this blog. If you think that is close enough to the look that Gary Land produces, then the class should be right for you.
