Baths of Caracalla
The ruins of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy, under a dramatic sky.
The sky and the ruins where shot 1.4 EV apart using auto-bracketing. The sky was exposure corrected to extract as much signal as possible from the highlights. Then the pictures were combined, and the result was perspective corrected.
This an handcrafted HDR using a simple threshold mask. The ruins are intentionally slightly under-exposed and the clouds are partially burnt out. This intends to produce a realistic effect that does not scream of HDR.
