Sky looks supernatural, foreground looks fake...I don't know if it is overexposed or if it is just too sharp.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Yeah, it's possible to adjust things to look really surreal. It's a real temptation to overdo the settings...but sometimes it's cool to push the velvet envelope.

One problem I had was with holding the camera still. I was using a monopod, and using a high-speed shutter to take the 3 shots needed for the operation. There is some slight shift in the image(s), and if you look close, it's possible to see an artifact from that. But for a first try, not using a tripod, I'm happy with it.

LOL...I have one, muss, but I didn't want to drag it around with me that day. The monopod is good for steadying the heavy camera a little when shutter speeds approach the shaky range (below about 1/60th of a second), and it's collapsible, so it's easy to transport.

I'm going to take a few pic this afternoon (weather permitting), and I packed the tripod into the car this morning...so I'm all set.

Not far from the Star Barn...Middletown-Hummelstown Railroad, with a bunch of old junk in the yard. And the new turnpike bridge near Steelton. (more HDR fun)
