New storm is coming in HDR - a photo on Flickriver

            A new storm is about to hit us and it was rather picturesque this evening. I couldn't help but shoot a few (many actually)... Here is the first set of three pictures at +/- 2 bracketed exposures. I used Photomatix for HDR processing and tone mapping. I rarely use "tone compressor" with HDR because it does just that: reduces variations in the tones--but I wanted the buildings to be as black as possible but still give back the colors of the clouds and the sky in its full richness and the appearance of 3D.

The storm was not nearly as intense as the clouds made it appear... at least not in Orange County.
