Playing with HDR

Another image from Washington DC.

It was nice being there without the large crowds; that allowed me to get some images from different angles that would have been extremely difficult with people everywhere.

This image is made up of three separate images combined in Photoshop CS6 with Nik’s HDR Efex Pro, bracketed 1 stop apart.  The scene could be pretty much captured with a single image if you exposed for the highlights but I wanted the extra detail to play with which is available in an HDR.

Image captured with a Nikon D4, Nikkor 14-24f2.8 AFS at 14mm, f5.6/2.5 sec, Gitzo tripod.
