Covered Bridge

.

Our last outing with the DLWS group was to a covered bridge with some great fall color.  The bridge was somewhat side lit making the exposure range too large for a single exposure to capture all the detail, so I decided to bracket the exposure +/-  2 stops.  With 5 images containing the information from the shadows to the highlights, I was able to use Photomatix Pro to merge them together into a single HDR image.  With just a couple of adjustments in CS5 ACR, the image was finished.  It was a perfect location to end the workshop with.

It was great time in New Hampshire and defiantly a place I’d like to revisit.
