Sunset Rock Vertorama - a photo on Flickriver

This was not easy because of the exposure difference between the upper and lower parts of the shot. I did two HDR images, balanced the exposures by eye, converted them to TIFFs and then ran the stitch in Photoshop.

See the ghost bird? It flew in on one of the upper frame exposures.

Directly above the rock is huge Celebrity Cruise ship that had just pulled out of Victoria harbor about 30 minutes previous. The 28mm wide on the G10 makes things small in the distance.

This is the thing about HDR. It gives you a better chance to convey a moment the way you enjoyed it with your eyes, adjusting exposure on the many parts of a scene, taking it all in. It is just photographic technology, not the "bastardization" some camera purists make it out to be. These same purists might be shocked to learn some of the darkroom tricks of their heroes. Photography does not end the moment the light hits film or sensor. At least, not for ME it doesn't ;-)
