"Mukilteo Lighthouse"

COLIN: Appreciate your comment and I know what you mean.

 

ALLON: Thanks for your enthusiastic comment.

 

DANNY: So glad you signed up, Danny. Thanks again for showing me the way on to the ground. Indeed it takes an out-of-towner to show a homey a new trick. Likewise, it was great meeting you as well. Do post up the lighthouse images in your trip to share with us all.

 

PAULA: So glad you like it, Paula.

 

KIM: Thanks for your comment, Kim.

 

HENRI: Thanks for checking this out.

Wilson, after having gotten myself into a situation where I managed to get several ruined shots of objects similar to yours, I very much appreciate your skills here in judging both the different exposures required, and also carefully blending them together. Great work of art!

 

That piece of lens flare you have looks very easy to remove, I suppose a simple magnetic lasso tool selection with color channel adjustment should be enough.

 

I would like to learn your technique on the blending process itself. I tried something similar once, and ended up with halos around my foreground objects.

 

Thanks for your time, and keep it up!

when i first saw the larger version of this i was torn between two thoughts "my god that's a good picture" and "f*** me, i suck at photography". you see, i thought you had done the impossible and achieved this image with only one shot. honestly, thinking that you got that sky and the detail in the shadows at the same time almost made me give it all up. i was a bit slow to clue in, but now would like to say: hot damn that's some nice work.

wonderful shot, beatiful colors and compotition
