Just a couple of images from last nights sunset. I bracketed all exposures and had my first go at blending two images with the second one. I like the composition of #1 better but I like the effect of the blending in #2, especially on the water.
C+C please.

Great colours, aren't they!

Interesting - we had similar cloud patterns this morning - in Tassie!

Not all over Tassie, unforunately.
I agree, though, great colours and cloud patterns. #1 does it for me, more contrast than #2. I'd like it even more if it had the red clouds from #2 though.

Two pretty nice sunsets, can't say I like the effect of the blending in #2 - just seems unnatural and too "grey". Fantastic colours though.

Thanks guys. My mind is still out on the blending in #2. When I get a chance I will pp a couple of the other shots similar to #1 but have colour like #2.
This seemed to be a popular sunset last night. There were four other people taking shots along the same piece of road.

Are you using PSCS 2 HDR to blend the shots?

Pa There was about 10 minutes between the shots.

Dug Using PSCS version9, not sure what HDR means. Very new to PSCS.

HDR High Dynamic Range available on Photoshop cs 2

It will merge up to 7 exposures into one taking the correct exposure value for each area.

Just had a poke around PSCS2 and found the merge to hdr command. I did not use it for this picture but will try it when I get a chance.
Thanks for the tip.
