parallelism … HDR

One of the prime advantages of using long shutter speeds with one’s DSLR is that the camera’s sensor literary takes its time !!!! It manages to incorporate meaningful visual information from every part of the frame, no matter how dark it may actually be … The information enclosed in the final RAW file has the potential (always after proper processing) to transfer real life lighting conditions to the viewer … To make him/her feel that he/she is actually standing in front of the scene …
Many of us tend to forget that a RAW image of any DSLR encloses visual information of at least +3 to -3 stops from the exposure level of the base image … This piece of information is truly invaluable when it comes to pseudo HDR processing of a single image … Also, one thing that most of us tend to forget is that a RAW file has the capability to help many a photo processing software tools to properly bring back the actual white balance conditions of the photo moment … Immediately, with only one click … White balance may either be adjusted on the initial RAW product or on the final HDR image …
All of the above pretty much explain how the above seen frame was processed …
