HDR Trash Flare :-)

Someone had to do it?
This used seven different exposures from the raw original shot,
blended to maximise the dynamic range, including lens flare.

Thank you Traveller, Cindy and Nico. I guess this is a practical case for some HDR work because the bright sun made it impossible to avoid burn-out and/or dead shadows. I should have bracketed some shots but would have needed the tripod to maintain sharpness... and I forgot to bring it ... lol.

The bonus of shooting RAW is that one can compensate a couple of stops either side especially with the larger sensor of the 5D. It does make processing a little tedious though. No substitute for a proper exposure in the first place and a sensor with max. DR. Thanks again, comments much appreciated. ~ Regards Bob

:) Extra browny points for the XTT Image (Expanded-Theme-Topics) ;).. Beautifully done - and so much going on from the piggie in the foreground to the woman in the background, the mural, the neat bins but the piles . . .

Dear Bob: This is about the first acceptable use of HDR that I've seen. Nice, and you caught some lens flair too! Best Wishes, Traveller
