Night time on the quay

I'm still exploring HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. This image was created from three images with exposure compensation of +2 stops, 0, and -2 stops whilst making sure the camera did not move between shots. I took it from a high vantage point so I was looking down on the boats. To my eye it was very dark but with HDR the shadows become visible in the finished image. By adjusting the images tonal range, many different effects can be created which make it difficult to know when the image is finished. I decided to stop here because I wanted vibrant colours. Its always a personal thing!
