A Couple of Sunsets in San Antonio

[redleash]

Here are a couple I shot last week. For once, I was out when the light was good. :D I tried a 3exp HDR for the first one but there was way too much noise in the darks. There was lots of noise in #2 also but it looks OK at a smaller size. This school bus lot is just down the street so I can easily re-shoot if anyone has suggestions for me.

Speaking of noise, what NR software do ya'll use? I need to invest in some.

Thanks,
Lauren

Nice! Some of the sunsets recently have been very nice, indeed.

I've been using NoisewarePro from imagenomics. You can try a free version that puts a grid on the output to see about results. If you want to send me a full-res version of the tiff (i forget what massive file sharing system I have a seldom-used account on) I could run the tool with the default landscape settings and you could see if you like the results.

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, haven't we had some gorgeous clouds and sunsets this summer?! I tried one NR demo and couldn't get the hang of it but I don't remember which one it was. I'll try the one you suggest and let you know if I need help or if I can send you the tiff. (I haven't even signed up for any file storage/sharing yet either.)
