I do not often post to the landscape forum, but I will take shots of anything so here goes. This is a really nice bluebonnet field my wife found a week ago. We are in East Texas, and most days have been very windy. However, the wind laid down Saturday night and we went out hoping for a good sunset.
If you have not seen the news, there are some pretty major fires burning West of Fort Worth, and they created this terrific sunset. I have been playing with HDR using Photomatrix, so this is a combination of three different exposures. It is also a stitched panorama using the Canon 24 TS-E II shift movement. This lower resolution jpeg, does not really do justice to the almost 40 megapixel image. All comments welcome.
Canon 1D IV, Canon 24 TS-E, iso 400, f9.0,1/13 sec (the nominal middle exposure), 3 images bracketed +- 2 stops, 3 images stitched (total of 9 images taken), Photomatrix Pro tone-mapping, small house cloned out in URC
