This in-camera HDR Art Vivid image was created at the tulip fields across from the Main Entrance to Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse, Holland (The Netherlands) with the Gitzo GT1542T Tripod, the Mongoose M3.6 head<\/a>, the Canon EF 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS II USM Lens<\/a>, the Canon Extender EF 2X III<\/a> (at 205mm), and the and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III<\/a>. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2 stops as framed left a base exposure of 6\/10 sec. at f\/29 in Tv Mode. Color temperature: 4000. To get a good histogram with Art Vivid you need to add a lot more light than you would when creating straight blurs and even when using HDR Natural images. <\/p>\n
