Old Louisville Sunset
This picture is actually three photos of the same scene exposed at different shutter speeds (1/200sec, 1/50sec, 1/13sec) and combined into one picture using photoshop masking. The reason for doing this is because of the difference in lighting between the background(sunset) and the foreground(building). The 1/200sec exposure was used to capture the sunset, but in doing this the building is underexposed. The 1/13sec exposure was used to capture the building, but in doing this the sky is overexposed. And finally the 1/50sec exposure was there for blending purposes. The final result is this, something that looks more like what you can see with your eye.

Very interesting, Mikey. I'll have to look into that. Neat result, and thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Hey Mikey...how's school going? :)
This is a very complex representation of something very simple. I'm impressed, not with your photoshop skills (never), but with your ability to think in such a way as to overcome an obstacle that's plagued me for a while. I'm not as well-versed in the nuances of photography to understand the best way to get a GOOD sunset picture. Que bueno! And thanks for the ideas!
It's going fine, but it's getting really, really busy with all of the projects we have to do. But I will be finished in May, and I will have survived 5 years of the Speed School of Engineering (formally known as Speed Scientific School). Rock on. How's the big job as NASA going? When are you going into space?
