Lucca in High Dynamic Range

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is a process where more than one image is blended to expand the exposure range past the capability of modern cameras.  This image was processed a little differently.  I only had one image and the courtyard area at the top of the frame was blown out and overexposed.  So I made a copy of the image in Lightroom and underexposed the second image until the courtyard looked a little better.  I then ran both images through Nik HDR Pro software and blended the two into one.  I think it saved an otherwise spoiled shot.

This image was made in Lucca, Italy in September of 2009.
