I rarely go out with the express intention of only shooting bracketed exposures. It's been 10 years, in fact. On this one day road trip up to the Black Range in the Gila, it was my main purpose. I wanted to try out the new HDR Merge extension for Luminar Neo with multiple exposures. In the previous post, I tried out its "single image HDR" capabilities with great success. This image was made up of 5 images, each 1 stop of exposure apart; an average exposure, and +1, +2, -1, -2. I used several other Luminar Neo tools to complete the image, including layers, sunrays, and atmosphere. Gotta say, it looks nothing like an image from the early days of HDR. No "clown vomit" here!
