I took digital photos for this composite (HDR) shot right by where I live – Valley Cottage, New York. Set the exposure bracketing at .7 (under, even and over), then created High Dynamic Range image in Photoshop by merging the three exposures into one 32-bit image file. I put a dark blue stroke around the image and added solid black borders to complement the photo’s dark tones
