Another hand-held HDR, a three-shot burst at -3, 0 and +3 stops from the evaluative meter, varying the shutter speed between the shots to keep the aperture at a constant f/8.
The three images merged with Luminance HDR, and used to produce three separate tonemapped versions. The three were then blended in postprocessing in the following ratios: Mantiuk06 algorithm 45%, Drago 30% and Fattal 25%. Each tonemapped version had its curves adjusted individually prior to finalising the blend to get the best contrast, and the resulting image was again curves-adjusted to bring out the best colours. This is a slightly more sophisticated version of the workflow I used on Castell Dinas Brân:
Editing consisted of cloning out some sensor dust, cloning out some distracting floats, manually correcting for lens distortion visible on the buildings on the left, rotating by 0.9 degrees and touching up the resultant corners, resize and sharpen. |

Hello from the critique club
An appealing image that fully meets the challenge
An excellent interpretation of the challenge brief, the processing has worked well to give a much more convincing result than a lot of HDR I̢۪ve seen in the past. I like the speeding boat and its watery wake the diagonal works really well in terms of its position and binding that portion of the image together. The sky is adorable and I actually like the darkness of the left of the frame, its distinctive shapes work well in terms of the overall image. Another great entry Eugene, well done |

Lovely conjunction. Beautiful shot. It appears just a little dark on the shore side. 8 |
