This is where I was headed on the morning of my last post when I was delayed by the moon. I captured some images before sunrise but without a cloud in the sky, I thought this made a stronger image in the end. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Exposure: .5 seconds through 1/40th seconds
Aperture: f/22 and f/16
Focal length: 20mm
ISO: 50

Canon 5D MarkII
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 tripod with Acratech GP Ballhead


Processing: Initially in ACR working on temp, exposure, contrast, and saturation. Then to CS5 for manual blending of 4 images for focus and exposure. Use of layer masks for selective manual blending of levels, contrast, sharpening, and exposure. Clone stamp to remove sensor spots.
