Full Moon via HDR Color
My first attempt ever to layer stack disparate exposures of the Full Moon. 4 different exposures taken 2 hours before the recent Lunar eclipse were transformed to High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, then aligned, then stacked with Photomatic to create a single image, which was then adjusted for correct white point and color balance. 16-bit TIFF was used for subsequent processing, which was done in Photoshop to create the black canvas, in Light Zone to remap the highlights, and to convert to JPEG, with a final stop in Noise Ninja for noise cleanup. This photo has some residual imperfections, the chromatic aberration was hard to tampen, among them. But, it was a completely new "look" at the Moon, unbelievable how much detail several photos can contain when combined as an aggregate. I am learning how to obtain more detail and much more color; I think some additional work, with more care, and more precision, could yield even better results.
This particular photo was resized again in Photoshop, because of Tribe's upload size limits.
