If you read yesterday’s blog post, then you remember how I spent some time yesterday chasing the perfect sunset.  When we stopped at the first location, I was really disappointed that the sky didn’t develop all the color that I was hoping for as the sun disappeared behind the heavy, hazy clouds in the west.

But I took my brackets anyway, and when you combine some HDR processing with some good effects software like Topaz Adjust, you get the sort of photo that you were hoping for all along:

Unless you’re a photo-journalist, don’t be afraid to turn your ho-hum photos into works of art, at least to your own eyes. This is what I wanted to see when I pulled off the road into that little field in the middle of nowhere, and by golly, I got it!
