I bracketed three shots. I like how it came out except for the lens flare. I using a Tokina 12-24 I rented. Please feel free comment. :)

I bought that same lens recently. I love mine. Your shot would be a lot nicer if it was level. The first thing I had problems with with the ultra wide angle. Finding level. ;)

Thank you for your help as always Mitch. I usually use the AF point to keep things level and looking at them in ZoomBrowser I should of caught that mistake when I took the shot. Kicking self! :o

I never thought of using the AF boxes. Good idea. I just get it close, then look at either side of the viewfinder to see if it looks level. Then I can easily fix it in CS3 if it needs more. :)

Reworked this image by straightening(can't seem to get it perfect), brightened and cropped. Any better except for the flare?

What did you use to process the image? This one seems a little less noisy than your first attempt, however there is still a little noise and it's also a little dark. I don't mind the lens flare, especially considering the subject.

It looks much better, level now.

Photomatrix for the HDR and Infanview to straighten, brighten, crop and resize.

Thanks Mitch.
