I spent all day yesterday working on a photo project for a friend. When it came time to post my blog my two youngest children started throwing up. This went on every fifteen to thirty minutes from seven p.m. to 10:30 p.m. By this time our toddler was not very happy. He was having a hard time going to sleep with all the commotion going on. So needless to say by the time everything had settled down I was too tired to post anything on my web page. Today was a miserably cold grey day. It started out with an inch of snow and a stiff North wind blowing all day. The clouds were grey and without much shape. Just as the sun was about to set the clouds broke and the sun took a quick peek from behind the mountains. This photo was taken at the end of my street. It was hand held and a five exposure HDR. The wild clouds are actually snow. Five minutes after I took this we had a brief but heavy snow squall.

The specs:
Iso 200
24 mm
f/11
5 exposure
Hand held

I processed the photo using Photomatix Pro. I then exported it to Lightroom for some small enhancements in color. From there I exported to Photoshop and completed some dust fixes and some other minor edits. At this point I slightly enhanced the photo using Topaz Adjust and Topaz Denoise 3. The final product has more color then what the natural eye could see.
