Last week the cub scout pack my son belongs to, took a den activity to the airboat tours location close to our home. I had been on boats many times, but never an airboat. Thought this would be an awesome experience for both of us. The boat tour was on the Platte River, so I was pretty familiar with what it was like especially growing up around the Niobrara River. Deep spots with tons of sand bars. The tour was interesting and the boat ride surprisingly smooth. I would definitely do it again. I kept the camera tucked away as I didn't know what to expect in terms of water spray, but if I would have remembered my camera strap, I would have had it out almost the whole time. No splash at all.
We stopped a couple of times for the guide to show us different parts of the river and wildlife along the sides. We even made a stop on the sand bar so the kids could say they stood and played in the Platte. Yep, right there in the middle of the river. 40 feet of water on either side, but yet it was 6 inches deep. Just as I remembered the Niobrara when I was a kid. The clouds were pretty cool giving way to some great sun rays. I shot a couple of HDR shots from the boat, which is challenging afterwards to line up. I even tried a new technique using Raya Pro of which I liked the output, but lining up the images was very tough...still wondering if I did something wrong. Either way, I'll put it out there to view.
The top shot was from earlier in the day as we were leaving. The sun rays kissed the top of the church tower.
This is a pano done with an iPhone 6 as I didn't want to get my camera out and chance it.
These are the two HDR shots. The top was done using NIK filters and were taken from 5 separate shots. The bottom was done using Photoshop and Raya Pro. As you can see, the tree on the left side doesn't quite line up right, but I tend to like the softer tone of the photo. Guess I have a little work to do on mastering luminosity masks.
This one lined up a little better.
This is a 6 shot vertical panorama taken and adjusted in Lightroom. No HDR.
