LOVING THOSE SKIES

SUNSET AT PRAIRIE CREEK, 2011


I can save you the trouble of asking about this composition - it is bland for my tastes, but I just love the sky. The sky is the only reason I took this image, and that in itself is reason enough. As with others that I shared lately, this image is a composite of three exposures processed as HDR in Photoshop CS4 then worked in Lightroom 4 - a clean and simple process that I have taken to with gusto. This image could have used three more exposures for the trees. My camera will only bracket three at a time, so I need to do it manually or I need to buy a nice add on device for my camera that will automate the process.
