Canon EOS 50D, Sigma 10-20mm f\/3.5, 12mm, F 16, ISO 100, 3 Exposures<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\nIt’s nice being a little further north during the winter because the sun stays relatively low in the sky for most of the day. This photo was taken around 11am and the sun was still low enough for me to get it well into the frame. I’ve always been a fan of sunbursts, so I made sure to stop the aperture down (this is f\/16) to make sure I got that effect.<\/p>\n
This photo is my first attempt at using a layer mask in Photoshop…I should probably have already known how to do that, but I try to do most of my post-processing in Lightroom exclusively. Anyway…after running my three exposures (-2,0,+2) through Photomatix, I found that the sky looked a little dirty and was a bit noisier than I would have liked, so I masked in the sky from the original 0ev RAW file. Turned out pretty well I think, and I learned a valuable new skill! As always, critique and comments are more than welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
