This is what summer looks like at these latitudes.... This is at three in the night, and you'll probably understand why I wear an eye mask at night during these months!
This is an experiment in exposure blending, so I would be interested in hearing your comments about that. It's a combination of a single RAW processed once for the sky and once for the land.

I think that the blending works quite well. I did not initially suspect that that was the case, before reading your description. Then, after knowing that it is a blended image, I can talk myself into believing that the light on the mosses and bushes is a bit too "flat" and bright for that sky illumination, but it is not a really big issue. It might go almost unnoticed. It is NOT one of those overdone HDR images that I tend not to like too much....
And, by the way, I don't have a problem with the tent....
Pretty scene, Roel. The blending works well, with no HDR look to my eye. Very soothing image.
It does seem to my eye that much of the land on the right side of the stream should be a little darker as there is still a directional component to the sky and that land would be in the shade more. That would have the added benefit of highlighting your tent somewhat to make it stand out some. I actually didn't notice it at first which is surprising for a fellow tentscaper.
Great spot for a sleep over!
I did not notice a thing with the blend. My only thought is the the tint on the land seems to lack the gold and blue tinted hues that creep in as dusk descends. Nice scene and good blend ...not a bit of hdr cartoon look in this.
Congratulations on the WP for another wonderful tentscape, Roel!
Look out, I'm headed your way...
Roel: Makes me want to be there in that tent! Nice work on the blend from my vantage point. Wonderful scene superbly rendered. >=))>
