First off I don't like this image. When I first started out I loved the OTT look and saturation of HDR images. Only posting it because I'd not done any processing like this for a long time and it's always good to revisit a completely different oeuvre, attempting to add in a little of what you have learnt.
There was a fair wind blowing and I knew I wouldn't get much of a reflection in the water but I'd made the effort to get on the pushbike and ride down here so didn't want to leave with nothing.
Foreground is 5 shots bracketed at +/-0.3EV and merged in Photomatix HDR. The sky is one shot of around 1 minute 40 sec. Then merged together in photoshop. I did try the sky replacement tool in PS and it looked pretty much exactly the same. Finished in Nik Colour Efex 4.
Not my cup of tea anymore but it was a lot of fun doing the edit. If only to remember the horrible haloing I always get, evident at the top of the lighthouse.
HSS!
