Bridal Veil Falls.

We wish you peace, my friend.

Never mind. Tried downloading the image to the iPad now there's no stepping. Nice.

Nicely done, dr. Buildings look nice. For some reason the lens correction tool in cs5 never seems to do anything to correct this Sigma 10-20 distortion,so now playing with the various warp tools. Seems like you took care of all the items brought up so far. Nice detail in the clouds,too. Tried working the center bracket, but just can't get the same amount of detail in the clouds as with HDR. Unfortunately, my only view is on this non-retina iPad. Is it this screen, or is there some stepping in the blue in the upper left corner? Thanks.

I like it. A little less exposure and darker sky would replicate the actual scene closer, but that's a nice version. Thank you, deayala. It was about that light within a few minutes, but by then the clouds had shifted.

Thanks for the link,ilbb. Great shots and very informative.

Previous post (September Dawn) was my best effort utilizing my limited pp skills with these three files. Anyone with more experience ( which is probably most of you) can feel free to to play with these and show me what I should be shooting for. Thanks.

Hey dr. Used a tripod & 5 sec. delay. Don't know how much sharper those flagpoles and lighting rods on the buildings at the edge of the frame can get. Plus, at 1.5 and 6 sec., anything moving will seem out of focus. I'll try and post all three shots so you can play with them next chance I get to transfer files. Thanks.

Hey Peter. Checked the previous bracket sets and the anomaly is moving with the clouds. Probably plane caused. The shoreline does curve down but there is definite distortion which will get fixed better once my grasp of ps increases. The cityscape was meant to be incidental to show it's insignificance in the overall scheme of things. Been working with a 10-stop ND all summer so it seemed a bit overly choppy. Guess it's all relative,eh? Just noticed some sensor dirt left of the upper left sweet spot. Internet access sporadic. Will try to post all 3 brackets. (Got plenty of cityscapes where the city IS the focus. Will post down the road.) Thank you kindly for all the feedback.

More of an experiment in low light detail capture with HDR. Will compare this to the middle bracket next time I acesss my files. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks drhanson. Try this. Any tips and pointers appreciated.

Thanks sailorsmom. It was wonderful to watch. Glad to be able to capture a small part of it.

Thank you kindly, Dixiegirl.
