All Roads Lead to you

Here is another version of the shot from the east side of LA. This was taken before sunset and I wanted to use the bridge to block the street in the right so I hopped down lower for a different vantage point. I waited until the sun got low enough to be able to capture the burst through the trees. I knew this was going to be a high dynamic range shot so I bracketed tons of shots at 2 stops apart all the way from 2 sec down to 1/40 sec.

 

I had a go at trying to manually blend select parts together but ended up just throwing them all into photomatix which did a good job of blending. I added a touch more contrast to this shot than normal.

 

 

All were shot with the Nikon d750, Nikkor 30mm 1.8, ISO-50, f/16.
