Corfe Castle

Location: Corfe Castle, Dorset, an 11th century castle that occupies a gap in the Purbeck Hills. This image was captured about 45 minutes before sunrise.

This image was captured using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkII camera with a Canon 24~70mm F/2.8L lens set at 43mm. I used live view and 10x magnification to manually focus on the castle. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, f/5.6, ISO 100, and daylight white balance. I then captured a series of 12 exposures from 30 seconds all the way to 1/60th of a second in one-stop increments. The RAW processing, creating and saving the HDRI was all done in Photoshop CS/4. The HDRI was then opened and tone mapped in Photomatix Pro before the final clean-up and image correction/enhancement work was done back in Photoshop.
