The Swamp

On a road trip down to Myrtle Beach this summer, I decided to take the back roads of South Carolina looking for stock images. Lucky me, I found a classic horror movie swamp scene in Lake View. We did not have time to wait around 9 hours for sunset, so we generated the night version from the day shot, which is what we have to do anyway with a scene like. Here is the transformation.

Night from Day Landscape

Although we always strive to captured the actual day and night version for our translights, often with landscapes without any sources of light at night and a lot of greenery we generate the night version from the day. With out any artifical sources of light, a night image can come out looking flat, dark and dull, not to mention it would be almost impossible to ensure all of the leaves and branches would line up for the print.

Below is a video showing how we recently turned a day image captured on the Forbidden Drive in Philadelphia into the matching night version.
