Red Top Lookout. Washington Cascade Mountains

My family checks out the view on Red Top Lookout.

HDR image, composite with 3 exposures +/- 2. Photomatix.

#27 Church Steeple

This is the Adventure Community Church in Duvall, Washington. I took the original RAW file and ran it through the Photomatix software to tone map it. The "layer cake" was as follows, from the bottom.

1. Background layer, original shot.
2. RAW file converted to HDR and then tonemapped to a tiff file in Photomatix.
3. Curves adjustment layer.

Masked the tone mapped cross on the steeple to show the background cross - it looked better.

Photo EXIF info: Canon 20D EFS 17-55 IS in manual mode at f/7.1 for 1/250sec, iso 100 at 35mm.
