Today I’m sharing the three images that I used to create this HDR image. I merged them in NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 and applied the Balanced preset. After that I returned the image to Aperture 3 for final adjustments.

As you can see each of the three images probably would not have produced such a broad dynamic range. Using HDR processing allows me to take a bracket set such as this and create a powerful and dynamic image.

This is a single frame edited in Aperture 3. The exposure was within the boundaries of the histogram, with no blown highlights or blocked up shadows, which allowed me to process it in Aperture 3 exclusively and retain the ful dynamic range
