Hey all,

I recently had the idea to put together a time lapse of the creation of one of my dusk exterior shots. These usually take me about 90 minutes in the field (start before sunset, wrap after sunset) and 1-2 hours in post, depending on how much facebooking and POTN'ing I do in that time period.

Here's a link:

You'll have to excuse my awful video skills, I've never really done anything serious with regards to video before, but I think the video gets the gist across. Hopefully you get to see the steps and a good cross section of my post processing technique, and how a photo goes from this:

Pretty cool, Mike, both on the shot production and the video as well!

Super crazy. I didn't know that much time and effort went into just one picture like that. Very nice work.

Same idea here, except also combining some of that fill flash with HDR-

Just straight night HDR with no flash fill-

Thanks guys - yeah - tons of work for one shot! More like digital art at this point rather than photography.

Gels depends on what look I'm going for. WB is always sunlight.
