Exposure settings: f/4, 0.002 sec (1/640), ISO 100, 24 mm
Description: Taken on the same evening as the previous post, the light was just beautiful. No HDR, No DRI, and No really fancy processing involved except for tonal color contrast enhancements.
Well, here's a quick catch: I opened one RAW file and processed it to three Black & White versions, because initially I wanted to convert this single shot to B/W anyway.
Here are three final b/w exports which I used on seperate layers. With vArious Layer Blending Modes and opacities I achieved quite the result I was after. When the original exposure is perfect this shouldn't be rocket-science anyway. I used the original shot on top of the layer stack in Color blending mode to get those original colors back into the sence. I finetuned the overal tonal color range with a Solid Color Layer Adjustment to reveal some extra warmth.
Location: In the province of Groningen, the Netherlands.
