Stormy MFA | 03:23PM Nov 28, 2007

It started out very warm yesterday morning and then the temperature started to drop quickly.  You can see from the sky that a storm was brewing.  Although, we never got any rain from these clouds.  As I was walking away from Ruggles, I noticed how omnious the sky looked, and I knew I wanted to try and capture it.  I had taken a photo of the MFA last week with a beautiful brilliant blue sky (hasn't made it to the blog yet).  I thought the same shot would work well with this sky behind it.

I Photoshopped together 3 different exposures to get the photo to look as close to what my naked eye had seen.  The sky was one exposure, the building a second and the foreground a third.  I couldn't quite get the sky to have the same look but it's fairly close. I did try experimenting with HDR (high dynamic range) processing.  The sky came out closer to how it looked but I wasn't happy with the rest of the image and decided to put off using HDR for another day (stay tuned).
