More Images from Coheelee Creek


A short distance downstream from the Coheelee Creek covered bridge are two ledges that form small waterfalls. The lower image is a little more dramatic but both are unique. There has to be a lot of water flowing for water to fall all the way across the ledge in the lower image. Normally it all falls on the right side.

Coheelee Creek



Last Wednesday we got over 7 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. We knew Coheelee Creek would be raging but were unable to get up there until the following Monday and the creek was still flowing strong. Above are a couple of images that were processed using High Dynamic Range Imaging software. The top photo of the bridge had some adjustments made in Photoshop using the color curves tools. The lower photo only had some sharpening applied post HDRI processing.

Bok Tower HDRI

This is a photo taken by me of Bok Tower in Lake Wales, FL. It is a combination of three photographs. Because the photo was taken in early afternoon the sunlight was very harsh and a single photo either had areas that were too bright or too dark. By taking three photos of the same thing and making one as the camera thinks it should be exposed, one underexposed (dark), and one overexposed (light), then combining the three I am able (via computer software) to choose the best exposure from each photo and put in into one. This is called HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging).
