Soft evening light


Labels: architecture, hdr, madrid, photo, reflection I took this image sort of by accident (or with a lot of luck hard to tell!) because it was the last image I managed to capture during that particular golden hour. During the last exposure (5th one - +2EV) of my bracketed sequence there was no more warm light on the buildings. This very beautiful light was gone. It was all grey and boring.

Even though I captured as many as 5 exposures I eventually decided to use only 2 of them: 0EV and +1EV and manually blended them in Photoshop. I loved the look of 0EV and I only masked in some very deep shadows (like trees for instance) from the +1EV photo.
