Photo Friday – Truck Stop
By KRae Merk | May 21, 2010
This is a photo I snapped on the seat of my pants. (as usual)
I took two pictures with two different exposures, the first one was short to get the lovely sunset and the second one was half a second long. (hand held too)
What I did in Photoshop;
- Imported them into Photoshop as layers and highlighted both layers and auto aligned the layers by going into Edit-auto align layers and let Photoshop work its magic
- Then, I took the bottom layer, the short exposure, and turned it off and selected the top layer, the long exposure, and erased the sky completely out of it then turned the bottom layer back on and then aligned the two layers till they exactly matched
Now, I could have used HDR on this photo, but I don’t like the results of HDR most of the time and I had a few minutes to burn when I created this image so I took the time to erase and align the two photos together, rather than run it through HDR.
