Horses Under the Storm

A particularly beautiful start to the morning captured with a Nikon D700 with the venerable 14-24 lens at 14mm. I used Adobe Lightroom 3.5 to correct the lens distortion from the 5 raw files and then exported to Photomatix Pro v. 4.1.42 from http://www.hdrsoft.com to merge the 5 exposures and tonemap the HDR for .tif output. Once Photomatix completed the HDR generation, the file was imported back into the Lightroom catalog and I further tweaked it in Photoshop before generating the final jpeg image.
