HDR Sun Rise

[ike]

So, been up all night, not tired...

Decided it would be a good time to go get a sun rise, i normally do sun sets.

3 mile walk later, im on the top of a huge hill, in the pitch black of night.

I set up my camera where the sun will be coming up, pour myself a cup of tea, and sit, patiently waiting, in the cold wind, with no gloves,

Then out it came, slowly creeping over the hilltops of the peak district,

8 cups of tea, 4 cups of tomato soup, 12 AA batteries and 780 photos later, it was time to go home.

Here are the first of many shots i hope to get up from this morning, these were taken later on, when the sun was almost fully up.





Merged to HDR from 9 images each in Photoshop CS3,

time for bed...

Yes, but it was 3 at a time using bracketing for alot of the shots, then moving through the whole spectrum of shutter speeds to create a HDR image.

Didn't notice the crooked horizon, too tired when posting, will sort it out.
