Last nite, I visited Sunol again and visited the magic tree. I have tried many times to make an image of this wonderful tree. Of all my attempts, this is the best image so far. It is an infrared image shot at ISO 800 — so, it is a little grainy. However, I multiple processed the RAW file into a high-dynamic range image. This softened the highlights so they are not too ’glary’. Next, I lightened the shadows 3x on the tree trunk to balance the tonality. Finally, I downloaded a trial of the Photokit plugin for its B&W effects filter. I used a Platinum toning at 60% for the warm tone.
