I thought I would finish-off my
vacation photos with three lighthouses.
The first photo is of the lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth which is just
outside of Portland. I walked
around the lighthouse for several minutes before I selected this location to
take the photo.
There was a lot of contrast in the
scene so I decided that an HDR image would be needed. Playing around with my cameras spot metering, I decided that
I would be able to shoot three shots and get the dynamic range of the image. I wanted the photo to look very
realistic so I was very light on the HDR controls.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D4, 28-300mm f/3.5~5.6 with at 28mm, ISO 200, f/16
at 1/350th,180th and 90th of a seconds on a
tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 4—applied Landscape preset
during import and exported three exposures to nik HDR2 where I combined the
photos into an HDR exposure.
Looks like a photo that one might see in a travel magazine. Like the colors.

Reminds me of a photo on a travel calender. Nice job.

I am surprised that you did not take this at sunrise or sunset. It would have made a much more interesting shot.
