Near my home, I found this old abandoned Ford truck sitting forlornly by the road. It looked pretty sad with no headlights, bullet riddled windshield, and paint so oxidized it was barely still red.
Luckily, the light was literally spot-lighting it at that time, so I took 3 quick bracketed shots with my Nikon D7000 (2-EV spacing).
Later, in Lightroom, I found that the dynamic exposure range from the highlights to the shadows was too great and elected to combine the 3 images into an HDR using Nik HDR Efex Pro. Then, with another Nik program, Silver Efex Pro, I converted it to a black and white, tweaked the micro contrast and was done â – â well, except for some minor sharpening and noise reduction in Lightroom.
