Day 3 of the B&W challenge. This image was captured at Hanging Rock in the middle of the day with the sun high in the sky - about the worst possible conditions for successful landscape photography. In order to capture the entire subject brightness range I had to resort to a HDR workflow using 3 braketted images - something I rarely have to do when using cameras with large sensors and photographing when the sun and the Subject Brightness Range (SBR) is lower. The three bracketed exposures were captured hand-held using the Sony A6000 pocket rocket and processed using only Photoshop CC. Merge to HDR Pro was updated with Photoshop CC and is now my HDR processing software of choice now that we can Tone the 32 Bit image in ACR. It now winds hands-down (for the first time) over Photomatix Pro. When dropping the bit depth of the image to 8 (for uploading your final composition to the web) you will have to duplicate the master file and then merge the file. You will need to choose Exposure and Gamma in the HDR Toning dialog before the image is finally converted to 8 Bits.
