Silbury Hill HDR
Made by sixth land
Silbury Hill The largest man-made mound in Europe, huge and mysterious Silbury Hill is comparable in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids. Probably completed by about 2350 BC and part of the Avebury 'sacred landscape', it apparently contains no burial or shrine, and was clearly important in itself: but its purpose and significance remain enigmatic. This is a fake-high dynamic range image (HDR) made with Photomatix Pro. Usually Photomatix is used to blend and tonemap several different exposures of the same scene but I wondered if I could improve an old image (a single exposure) and push iPhoto a little bit. I made two copies of the original and in the first copy I increased the exposure adjustment whilst decreasing it in the second. I then processed the resulting three images as usual with Photomatix and did a little post-processing in Photoshop. The result is quite good and is certainly a more vibrant image than the original.
