This scene was shot on Sunday evening from Mount Pleasant. It was a fabulous sunset, helped by the clear skies and frosty temperatures throughout the day. I took around 80 frames over a 4-5 minute period with various exposure settings and auto-bracketing everything.
If you don't know what HDR is, here's a quick summary. Adobe Photoshop has a very simple to use tool for merging multiple exposures to create a HDR image. The practice comes in how you control contrast, saturation and hue after down-sampling the image to 16 or 8 bit. The HDR merge process works better combining 5 or 6 exposures, but the following example was created with just 3 from the auto-bracket function. I have a few more of these to post in the coming weeks.
Location: Mount Pleasant, Middlesex. November 21, 2005

Nice shot, I intend to experiment more with the HDR multiple exposure feature in photoshop as well.
It also surprises me how good the dynamic range is now on DSLRs as long as you don't push it too far
and end up with noise.
