Description Lake Faak

When I was on my way back from a hiking tour my ex-girlfriend said:"Look to the lake. It's so beautiful". I turned the car to the side and got some beautiful pics.
Lake Faak (Faaker See, Carinthia, Austria) is one of the most beautiful lakes in Carinthia. Clean water, surrounded by a wonderful landscape and a little cute island in the middle.
Here is a short description in english: [link]

I made here a HDR pic with Photomatix out of three pics. I merged two HDR pics together. In the first i focused on the background. In the second i tried to get the optimum for the waterscape. I'm happy, it turned out very good (I think so).

enjoy the wonder of nature

hm, sehr shcΓΆn. mit was arbeitest du fΓΌrs tonemapping? denn irgendwie klappt es bei mir nicht so recht weder mit photoshop noch photomatix. sieht immer pothΓ€sslich aus nicht so wie dieses bild

Bandit83 In reply to holzoepfael [2009-11-01 14:34:26 +0000 UTC]

FΓΌrs tonemapping arbeite ich nur mit Photomatix und da mit dem "Details Enhancer". Bei diesem Bild hab ich das Ergebnis einmal fΓΌr den Himmel und einmal fΓΌr's Wasser optimiert.

Bei mir waren auch schon sehr viele Nieten dabei. Am besten ist es mit vielen Einstellungen zu experimentieren. Ich habe auch gemerkt, dass der HDR-Effekt nicht so stark zum Tragen kommt, wenn das Ausgangsmaterial zu wenig Kontrast beinhaltet.

Ich hoffe ich konnte ein bischen helfen. Und danke fΓΌr das Kompliment .

It's an amazingly beautiful scenery. But I like the name of the lake the most.

We have a lot of funny names in carinthia. Faak spoken a little bit to fast. The name of the village is "Faak am See" (Faak at the lake). Or the village Maria Gail (makes every non german speaking person laugh ).
Thanks for the comment.

You are absolutely right. I'm non German speaking person and look at me: It's funny how such a romantic place has such a..."strong" name.
