About
I am completely new to PhotoShop which is why it took forever to put this photo together. I wanted to keep the smoothness of the flowing water resulting from a 30 second exposure but the background came out overexposed all the time. I ended up using 2 pictures – one with a 30 second exposure and one with 1/10 second exposure which came out underexposed. However, the evening sky from the second picture was usable, so I merged the images and you are looking at the result.
Exposure 30’ and 1/10 Aperture: F22 and F3.5 Focal length: 18 mm ISO 400 Tripod
A beautiful image and excellent Photoshop work. I might not even have noticed the blending of images if you hadn't mentioned it in your notes. The only small fault I can see with the blending is on the tree line, it’s just a little blunt and would have benefited from some feathering. For someone who is a beginner you have done a wonderful job with this...I like it very much. :)
