During the 'summer' just gone (2011) I spent two days in Achill, Co Mayo. In actual fact i spent two days in a tent as it hardly ever stopped raining!! On the last evening just before sunset the weather cleared and the glorious sun appeared for just over an hour before disappearing again. I jumped into my car and headed for Keem Strand where i hoped to capture anything at all, any sort of decent picture I could then edit and store on my hard drive for evermore. I managed to get a few shots taken but the sun was very strong so I decided to try bracketing 3 shots of the same scene taken at 2 stop differences.
One was exposed correctly, the others were two stops over and two stops under. I aimed to then process this image using a HDR (High Dynamic Range) editor which then combines each of the images resulting in no detail being lost in the shadow and highlight areas. This was the result of my efforts, it's not a great picture but the bracketing technique (which we are learning about in the Griffith College Photography Course) really took me out of a hole here as I had forgot my filters.
This method let me shoot directly towards the sun and although there is very obvious lens-flare I do not believe it affects the image negatively!
