Frozen Fountain HDR (Workflow Example #3)





In this tutorial we create an HDR image of a frozen fountain using Lightroom and HDR Efex Pro 2. We will prep the images in Lightroom, then work on basic HDR settings in HDR Efex, then fine tune color balance and other areas using the power of control points. This video is part how-to and partly following along with my creative process and how I approach the problems this photo presents.
