White Arches Ghost
It is spring and the Pilgrimage is underway. Antebellum homes are open for tours. An early morning Golden Hour with some whisper clouds floating by. When I first setup in the street (miracle no traffic) just blue skies and waited 10 minutes for the puff to float by. After PP the wife spotted the ghost coming out of the top and yes it is supposedly haunted. This was produced using the Promote Control and PP with Lightroom 3 ( a gift from my brother after he upgraded) and Photomatix.
![Full Moon, Supermoon, over Main Street Bridge Jacksonville Florida 06232013. Used the Promote Control 9 shots at .7 ev and Photomatix. It took 8 minutes and the moon moved about 4 times its size.This is toned mapped my hand in Photomatix (all presets [extras also] did not work) and used the Lasso tool to select exposure to get moon surface. Canon T2i EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS set at 55mm (=88mm) ISO 100 Shutter speed 3.2 (moon surface) thru 120 AV 29. This was total experiment had no idea what the outcome and was at the end of time for session, no matter what I did I could not get a shot of surface using normal +/-2 ev. Seeing the movement of moon just chuckled no way I will be able to use this but just playing in Photomatix and wow. real colors every other tone mapped photo the a lot of pink on bridge.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/2013/i-TfTNN4n/4/857e463f/Ti/9%20tonemapped%20Photomatix-Ti.jpg)
