Here's a photo I took in Slovenia way back in 2008. It's a three shot blend to get the contrast into the range of the camera. The sun however was perfectly placed by nature. I used a Tse 45mm for this shot and I just love the shape of the sunstar....it's got an old film "messianic" feel to it:

Hi GMC.
Lovely shot, I agree about the sunstar, a really good look.
By 'It's a three shot blend...etc' are you saying that it is an HDR blend or a panoramic blend? If it is HDR, nice job, so often HDR is so overdone and false but this looks quite natural.

Cheers, Graham.

Thank you. It's a set of three shot combined in photoshop. I took the 1st shot using the camera meter, then a an over exposed shot of 2 stops and an underexposed shot of two stops. Then I layered all three and blended them together. The result was a nice clean blend which looks very natural and very close to how I remember seeing this scene. This is an idea which I got from Guy Edwardes and a technique I use a lot when a landscape scene is beyond my camera's contrast range to record. This technique doesn't look to "effecty" or "fakey" if that makes sense, which to my eyes a lot of HDR processes do.

Hi GMC.
Thanks for clarifying the technique, I just re read my post and realised that I put "quite natural" which is open to interpretation, I didn't mean it as almost natural, as it looks how I would expect the scene to have lookedto the eye, with the exception of the sunstar.

Cheers, Graham.
