Today’s Photo – Palace of the Marqués de Dos Aguas, Valencia
These brackets were shot hand-held. To capture the scene with relative clarity I had to raise the aperture to f/4 and ISO to 500.I also only shot with an ev spacing of 1 (-1 0 1) since anything higher would have required excessive shutter speeds.
I also ran the images through a noise removal plugin before processing them in Photomatix.
