On the road

Here's a composite image I created yesterday afternoon with Photomatix, made up of three rapid-fire shots. I was heading home at 2:29 p.m. to let the dogs out.
The great thing about this process is that it uses multiple images in various degrees of exposure. This consists of three images: one properly exposed, one over-exposed by one f-stop and one under-exposed by one f-stop. What you get, then, is image information gathered over a much wider tonal range than would be possible with a single exposure. That makes it possible to get detail in the clouds all the way down to the dashboard. Since it's made up of three separate exposures, it shows the oncoming truck in three positions.
