There are not many spots on the east coast where you can photograph a sunset over what looks like the ocean. Cape May New Jersey is one of of them. I am staying at the Montreal, and the view from the sundeck above the 4th floor is pretty spectacular. The first shot is about 15 minutes before sunset, and the second is about 15 minutes after sunset. <\/p>\n

And here are clouds over Delaware Bay a few moments later.<\/p>\n

These are all three-exposure HDRs with the Canon SX20IS, blended and tone-mapped in Photomatix and final processed in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

This is my first experiment with HDR for sunsets\u2026I am wondering what you all think? In hindsight, I would like to attempt these again without the \u20132\/3 EV exposure compensation that I use of daylight landscape, since the real challenge is getting a realistic light level on the foreground. Maybe I will get another chance before heading back to Maine. <\/p>\n
