Finally got the right combination of time, equipment, weather and location to get this thing done.
Note that a graduated ND filter was used.
Got this pic at the Gao Mei Wetland Shallows. It was funny because when I got there, all the other photographers were just leaving and had left disappointed. It wasn't much of a sunset due to that low lying fog bank. I took some pics and it wasn't until I started processing it that I got to see what it looked like. I've been disappointed with HDR so far, but this one seemed to just work. I especially enjoyed the greens in the sky.
Lots O fun!
Processing was done via 2 copies of the same frame with different exposure values, then using HDR Pro to bring it up starting from a 'more saturated' setting.
Took it to TIFF and applied a bit of noise reduction via ACR and applied as layer, with a bit masked out in the grass and sky.
Mucked about with some border options and got it ready for DPC. Mild sharpening last.
