Digital Imaging Examples:
Surreal Photomatix,
Turn Off The Subtle Switch
Behold, surreal digital imaging examples using one of the best photo editing software for HDR - Photomatix Pro.
Think of turning the volume to 11, like Spinal Tap did. And like the Tap, you're also going over the top...as in creating a parody of the original. Think: Moody...high saturations...dramatic...halos...high sharpness...grungy...unwordly...fantasy. Once you get the idea, Photomatix becomes easy photo editing software for high dynamic images. Here are some shots from the Sussex-to-Saint John area.

Here are two examples of high saturation from autumn's palette.
Parlee Brook, near Waterford, N.B.
Along the Kennebecasis River, near Gondola Point
On Route 1 between Sussex and Norton are rock faces bordering both sides of the highway. Recently, it was discovered these visible cuts were also a 350 million-year-old fossil forest, maybe the world's oldest forest.
And speaking of forest, check out what the halo setting does to these furry branches...
