Full Moon Jupiter Lighthouse HDR Version

Jan 20, 2011 | Moon and Lunar

Here’s the HDR version of the full moon rising at the Jupiter Lighthouse. The HDR version came out a lot better than I expected. There is a slight halo around the trees and a purplish cast around the moon but I’ll take care of that later. Compared to the single shot, it don’t look all that bad. The colors are a tad over the top but that was just me playing around with the image. I think a combination of the HDR and the regular shot would make this image perfect. The printed version of this HDR looks fantastic, the detail is amazing! It actually looks a lot better than the regular photo.
