One more time,

This image was a 7 exposure composite using 7 different exposure settings. The whole idea was to expand the dynamic range without using a ND filter. It's a cool technique.

Tom,

It is obvious that it worked. Now you have to document it.

Tom, This is beautiful, especially with the stark contrast between the scorched foreground and brilliant sky.

I'd also appreciate seeing a detailed article on your technique for combining multiple exposures.

Hi Tom. I have come back to this time and time again. I just wanted to add that I think this is a very striking image. I love the variation of grey with texture leading into the vibrant sky.

Tom,

Man this is cool. You must educate us on your 7 exposure technique.
