This is almost the same image as the one I posted a few days ago, but different, and to me, much more realistic of what I saw. The difference is one is an HDR composite of five images while this one is a composite of three images (All one stop differences). In all honesty I was not comfortable posting the previous image because it was not what I saw and that halo around the sun was awful. Yet, I worked on that HDR image as if there was something I was destined to pull out of it. Never happened. I am much more pleased with this one. So, I’m still learning about the positive and negative aspects of HDR. It intrigues me so I will see what creativity can come from it.
Here is a single image from the set of five images. This image is one stop underexposed then worked in Lightroom 4. Adjustments include temperature, exposure, highlights, blacks and tone curve. The three stop HDR does give me a truer image for color of what I saw. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
