Colourful Calgary

Looking the opposite direction of the previous photo I posted was the city of Calgary.

Not knowing that the sunset would fizzle out early, I started the timelapse a little overexposed, as I usually do for sunsets, to try and get a good exposure for the "sweet spot" when the reds start to appear. So I had to go a little heavier on the post processing, to try and bring out the details of the slightly washed out sky. (Thank Ra for RAW!... Feel free to replace "Ra" with any god you like)

After spending a lot of time processing this, I went even further with a second version, which was actually the original plan when I started shooting this timelapse. I'll post that one next.

I made this image by combining 439 photos with the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script, advancedstacker.com. I also took out the cars because they looked messy, and they really took away from the intended focal point, the cityscape and the sky above it.
