Description

Another hand-held HDR, a three-shot burst at -3, 0 and +3 stops from the evaluative meter, varying the shutter speed between the shots to keep the aperture at a constant f/8.

The three images merged with Luminance HDR, and used to produce three separate tonemapped versions. The three were then blended in postprocessing in the following ratios: Mantiuk06 algorithm 45%, Drago 30% and Fattal 25%. Each tonemapped version had its curves adjusted individually prior to finalising the blend to get the best contrast, and the resulting image was again curves-adjusted to bring out the best colours. This is a slightly more sophisticated version of the workflow I used on Castell Dinas Brân.

Editing consisted of cloning out some sensor dust, cloning out some distracting floats, manually correcting for lens distortion visible on the buildings on the left, rotating by 0.9 degrees and touching up the resultant corners, resize and sharpen.
