Challenge 1 on Ultphoto

As discussed on our Memories Unlimited blog, I have set a challenge to myself to create one new image per week (for each of Ultphoto and Memories Unlimited) in order to challenge my creativity. Here is the first one for Ultphoto. I just love the texture of the old Baobab juxtaposed against the manmade structures.

HOW WAS IT DONE: This is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image of a vehicle inspection station near Beitbridge. The image was taken just before sunset using three exposures, which was then blended together to ensure a proper exposure in every area of the image. The image was also adjusted for increased contrast and cropped. The border and logo was added separately.
