View of the LDS temple in Salt Lake City just after sunrise.
HDR using 8 RAWs, blended and tonemapped in Photomatix 4. Cranked up the white and black slider, and compensated on the Luminosity and Gamma sliders to get a good exposure and balanced histogram. This gave a much stronger HDR look than I usually go for. Then I tonemapped it again, strengthening the effect. In PS:
– Imagenomic to reduce noise. Did it twice, once with a strong setting for the sky and water, and once with a normal setting for the rest.
– Smart sharpen.
– Freaky detail, just on the temple.
– Reduce saturation everywhere but the temple and water.
– Burn edges.
– TIghten crop a bit.
