Monday Morning HDR

Good Monday (or Sunday evening, since I'm a little ahead of schedule) - hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today instead of the Monday Morning Ten, we have a Monday Morning HDR. The shots below were taken just after sunset on Sunday in the Manassas Battlefields here in Virginia. I've had a few friends ask what goes into making an HDR photograph, so I've also included the 9 exposures that were combined to make the image below using Photomatix Pro.

These were all taken with a Nikon D3, with a Nikon 24-70mm lens using a tripod (obviously...)

Aperture was set to f/16 for as much depth of field as possible. (You'll see I sacrificed DOF on the last few shots by opening up my aperture, in order to reduce exposure time... it was starting to get cold!)

1 second @ f/16

2 seconds @ f/16

4 seconds @ f/16 (FYI: With the naked eye, this looks pretty close to what I could actually see)

8 seconds @ f/16

15 seconds @ f/16

30 seconds @ f/16

30 seconds @ f/13

30 seconds @ f/7.1

30 seconds @ f/3.5

very cool

ROB! Wow, man. Take my breathe away. That's it, next time I'm going with you. Haha. But, seriously, much appreciation for your art and how you capture it. It is always encouraging and intuitive to read what goes on behind shoots and art work. Miss ya man!
