Took a tour to Japan Hokkaido, Had a great time, exploring how HDR photography can bring back the dynamic range and also to bring in some vibrance in the photo more than my eyes sees there. Happy to share with all.
Images are taken postly with my NEX6, Sigma 10-20mm Lens. 3 Shots -2EV 0EV and +2EV. Apart from extreme conditions which uses +3EV to -2EV. Post Processed with Photomatix Pro. Part 2 will follow up with the foods of Hokkaido. Stay Tune!
