The Old School in Swan Valley

Last Sunday I took a quick trip up to Swan Valley. I was a little worried that the rain was gonna cause me problems, but it ended up being perfect. This is an old school house that is right by the highway up to Driggs. It is a really popular for the local photographers so I wanted to get my own version of it. For this photo, I 3 different shots at different exposures. Then I ran it through the HDR process in CS5. I turned it monochromatic, then added a sepia overlay. I gave it a strong vignette, and then finished it off with a scratch texture layer. I was really happy with how good this turned out. I printed an 8X10 of it at Wallymart and it looks perty legit! I have quite a few more shots from the trip, so I'll have to get those up soon.
