While helping my father-in-law teach an High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography class, I was able to capture a few images myself. We decided to get to the Aiken Train Depot early to take advantage of the low light desired for HDR. As we were about to wrap up, I shot this image as the sun began peeking through the trees.
Note the "Rule of Thirds" in full effect here... as is a nice little sun burst through the tree limbs/leaves. I like the image so much initially after the HDR, I didn't do much post processing. The above image is how it came out of Photomatix Pro. Below, are the two of the same image that I took a little further in the post-processing just to see what I could get. I am pretty happy with all of them and wanted to share a little of my workflow on how they came to be.
