Tennessee Sunset

This was taken just outside Chattanooga, TN. I have a hard time blending images for a shot like this, with so much dynamic range, but am fairly happy with how this turned out. I processed this in Photoshop CS5, working with RAW. I tried to keep it as natural looking as possible, constantly visualizing how the scene had really looked when I was there.

Four images were blended...

Canon 60d 10-22mm @ 10mm
ISO 100 --- f/13 --- 1/320 1/125 1/140 1/15

Sweet shot. The light on the wall is particularly nice. Pity that you couldn't get more height to see more of the river. Processing looks perfect.

Thanks, Kah. Yes, I was a bit steamed when I saw the overlook didn't have many options concerning more river view. Great to hear about the processing. It took me about two hours to process this... :eek: . I guess I shouldn't be too proud of that!
