Boy, did I not get lucky today!

This is a stitch of three HDR shots I took today. I was laying in my room when my curtains just seem to glow yellow. So I grabbed my camera and went outside to check out the sunset. It was still raining a little, but luckily I saw this just minutes before it faded away.

    This is a gorgeous shot. Care to describe your HDR technique?

    Wow, simply beautiful, I guess it must be nice to see it real,, the shot looks soooo nice and its a double rainbow!!!

    To get this picture I loaded the three RAW images into Photomatix and converted them to HDR. Then in the same program I tonemapped them. Next I loaded the three images in Hugin to get the panoramic shot. Then I used Photoshop to play with the color, contrast, and crop the image. As far as my HDR technique, Photomatix did most of the work.

    I was so disappointed that I didn't have my camera on me when I saw the rainbow! It was positively *MAGNIFICENT* -- I've never seen one so gorgeous!

    That's pretty cool. Rainbows are fun and it's especially nice to get a whole one. Nice work!
