This image was processed in Aperture 3 as a RAW file before being taken into NIK HDR Efex 2 where I used the Structure 1 preset where I then boosted exposure, shadows, highlights, contrast and structure. I then returned the image to Aperture 3 where I boosted definition, contrast and vibrancy followed by sharpening.

I couldn’t believe the way the clouds were arrayed across the sky on Saturday. The morning began as a cloudless day but by early afternoon these cloud formations were spreading into the east. I processed the image in Aperture 3 and NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 before cropping it slightly. I also took it into Photoshop CS% where I manually corrected the vertical perspective.

I wanted to capture the beauty of the November sunset and include the access ramp architecture as well as the pattern of the parking lot. I used a single frame which I processed in NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 and Aperture 3 to create this image.

This photo was taken last week just after sunset. I was on the ramp that leads up to the Big Four Bridge to capture the dramatic colors of the sunset just as the accent lights were turned on. I liked the contrast of the organic elements in the sky with the geometric patterns cast by the ramp lighting. I processed the image from a single frame using NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 and Aperture 3.

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
