Photo editing

Most images can never look at its best when they are uploaded or displayed straight from the camera. Certain light conditions cannot be measured by any camera yet. The following image was taken straight into the sun. The suns exposure or the area above the horison for that matter was approx 5 stops more than below the horizon on the road and next to the road. The only way to balance out the light is to cut the image in two and then to edit the bottom part below the horizon. The top half did not require major work as the clouds were very dramatic.


The unedited image.
