HDR tutorial part 2

I went to sleep really late last night, but the second part of my HDR tutorial is online. This time the theme is preparing your photos in Lightroom and combining them in Photomatix. You can acess the tutorial either from the side menu, or directly here: Using Photomatix Pro

Hope the tutorial is helpful and all feedback and questions are very welcome.

The next part will be about correcting the most common HDR processing problem with the help of Photoshop. But that will be sometime later.

Last moments of sunset in Madrid

As you can see, my luck for days without any clouds stayed with me also in Madrid. For a moment I was thinking of cropping the sky, but I could get myself to remove even the smallest part of that beautiful sunset orange.
