This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
June 2, 2008; Day 31. It’s Monday which means I’m in Portsmouth, NH. Some of you may recognize this as one of the Wyland Whaling Walls. This one is number 37, painted on June 14, 1993. This scene depicts humpback whales near the Isles of Shoals, a set of 7 little islands shared between NH and Maine.
This HDR was created from six exposures. The aperture was held constant at f/8; the shutter speed varied from 1/30s to 1/1000s in one-stop increments. Photomatix did the work.
I also shot this wall using my fisheye lens. (Note to self: The fisheye really exaggerates an unlevel horizon!) You can see a lot of repairs to the building that are slowly obliterating this painting.
PS: Rotate 2 degrees
PS: Crop away black bars
PS: Color Balance: -5 Magenta to green
PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
