I might occasionally take something out, but not in. I do, however, often composite multiple exposures to increase the dynamic range in high contrast situations, since digital sensors still can'y reproduce the range that film used to have. Not really "HDR", but similar. The only use of that on this image was in the moon, which was of course burned out from the long exposure needed for the rest of the scene.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-45223109557203928202010-01-14T09:42:54.924-08:002010-01-14T09:42:54.924-08:00Something puzzles me about this shot Alan.

The lead-in and leading lines take your eyes through a journey of gorgeous texture and contrast. Exquisite!<br /><br />I've seen so much that is good but not astonishing lately that it's kind of deflated the creative in me. But this has picked me right up.
