Meet the New Well (Desktop), Same as the Old Well

Old Well (Chapel Hill) - © John Kivus, 2010

I recently went into the Carolina campus to take some HDR pictures of the Old Well. Though I did get some HDR shots that looked good, I decided to further experiment with them. There was one particular shot that I really turned up the intensity on. After I created a really intense HDR, I then applied Topaz Simplify to the photo in order to get the look above. I immediately made the resulting image the desktop on my computer. Since I’ve had the image on my computer (about 3 weeks at the time of this writing) I’ve had a fairly decent amount of requests for the image either to use as a desktop or as a print to frame. Since I’m following Trey Ratcliff’s model of trying share my images under Creative Commons, I’ve created versions of this image in popular resolutions to use for desktop images on computers, cell phones, and iPads.
