Auditorium Shores Sunset - 9/04/2008 : Taken on the Auditorium Shores in downtown Austin, Texas.

My daily bike ride takes me through Auditorium Shores right around this time of the evening.  Every time I pass through this area, I'm struck with how beautiful the scenery is and how I should photograph it.  One evening I skipped the bike ride and hiked out there with a camera and tripod to do just that.  The half an hour of light after the sun dips below the horizon can create some pretty interesting scenes.

I learned a bit more about tone mapping HDRs in Photomatix from this set.  The gamma value was required to get any kind of normalized exposure of the skyline.  The default is like day light and the colors don't work at all.  With a few extra knobs turned, I managed to coax out something worth looking at.
