Steve Sprengel

Holmes Lake, Lincoln, Nebraska

Third HDR Sunset

Created of 3 handheld shots, taken 2 stops apart using AEB, then HDR-merged in PS CS2,
the combined result covers 23 stops of luminosity, and the hardest part, the art, is
how to define the 32-to-16 bit conversion with the least degree of ugly transitions.

In this case, I had to wash out the sky around the sun to some degree, to keep
the orange-to-purple transition on the right from being more of a hard, red edge.
