Description

Located in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This is an HDR image from four exposures from the same parent RAW image. HDR processing can bring out additional colors that we can’t easily see in the RAW file. The key challenge is to keep the final composite somewhat true to what the naked eye can see.

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 1.67, ExposureTime: 6/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 15.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Your signature use of the Fisheye produces your signature beautiful results. It certainly is on the "realistic" side of HDR. #11116287
