SunsetLighting
Since it was sunset I wanted to capture all of the light I used three shots to create this image. +2,0-2Equipment
Canon 7D 70-200mm f2.8 L Series lens and a Manfrotto tripod with Ball head.Inspiration
The beauty of the Palouse.Editing
I used photomatix pro to merge the three images then brought it over into photoshop where I used lumonisty masks to create the highlights and shadows.In my camera bag
Canon 7D 24-105mm L Series lens,85 !.4 Sigma lens, 70-200mm f2.8 L Series lens. Alien Bees B800 and Einsteins Canon 580EX Speedlight.Feedback
Always you a tripod at when capturing a HDR image and the lowest ISO possible. But when you bring it over into photomatix I have learned that if you keep the strength at 10 and pump up the Lumonisty and detail to 10 you don't have a dark unnatural look to the image.
