Route 66: More Truxton, AZ

The photograph above was taken near Truxton, AZ back when I was following Route 66.

Processing notes: In this shot I processed one of the three raw files I shot and processed it so that it looked almost black and white. I used that shot for the area you can see through the windows of the truck. I then processed the same raw file again until I liked the look of the broken glass and used it just for the broken glass area. I then combined the three shot bracket of exposures into an HDR file which was then processed twice and used for the interior of the truck. I also applied a few hue/saturation and curves adjustments layers to fine-tune the color and contrast of various areas. Of course, all this kind of stuff is described in my new on-line HDR class.
