Hello and welcome to DPC! I like the color in your photo; thanks for sharing it.

I hope you don't mind that I went ahead and changed your image to a link. We have a fair number of dialup users here, and also quite a few from countries that charge by the MB for Internet usage. For that reason we request that any large images be posted as links or thumbnails, rather than posting the image directly to the forums... help keep things usable for everyone. :)

A good guideline is that an image is "large" if it is over about 30K, or over 500 pixels wide.

Once again, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay!
-Terry

Nice shot! Was this 12 different exposures, or just converted from RAW with different settings? If different exposures, just the shutter speed change? How were they blended?

Thanks for sharing!

when i try to capture a colorful sky like that - it comes out either too dark or too light. How do you adjust the camera to see what I see?

@Noggin,

The settings are showen below my imagelink. After that I opened Photoshop and adjusted the Contrast and Level a bit.

At the risk of hijacking lowonenergy's first thread here:

I took 12 different shots with the Aperture fixed for deep DOF and adjusted only the shutter speed. It is my experience with HDR images, that adjusting the aperture instead of the shutter can sometimes cause problems.

After I had saved the RAW files to TIF via Camera Raw, I used the HDR tools to take all 12 and compile them into a single image. HDR is a new feature in Photoshop CS2. Hope that helps. If you need more info, we can open a new thread and get more detailed about it.

Cheers,
Matthew

Cool, thanks! I don't have Photoshop..was wondering what you used for the HDR blending/conversion.

Sorry, lowonenergy. :-)
