Location: St Catherine’s Lighthouse, Isle of Wight @ Moonset

This image was captured using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkII with a 24~70mm F/2.8 L lens set at 54mm. I auto focused on the wall and set the switch to manual focus. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, f/8, ISO 100, and daylight white balance. I then captured a series of 8 exposures from 30 seconds all the way to 1/4 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.
