Discussion

I didn't wake up "in time" to catch the Jefferson the way I wanted and still avoid the 100º heat by the time I finished the monuments. Still, after photographing there, I rushed toward the FDR memorial. The sunrise was too "just right" to not try for a multiple exposure photograph with the sun and TJ's memorial balanced in the frame.

It's been a while since I've been photographing seriously and it shows. Since I'm traveling, this HDR photo was shot handheld; the image sensor is dusty; the metering is way off (I had the bracketing set at -3 EV, but in the last burst of shots, I did remember to meter off the lower right part of the frame so I did have a single correctly exposed image in the bracket).

I haven't upgraded yet to HDR Efex Pro 2 because it's been so long. The merge done in HDR Efex Pro (1) via the Apple Aperture plugin is the only image processing I did. I should have gone back and fixed the lens flare to not have soo much structure. Oh well!
