From an evening walk in the fields surrounding our village. Contrast was immense, so I underexposed -1 for the skies in post (LR 3.2) and pushed the “Fill Light” silder up to 100. Then adjusted the tone curve and colour settings. Of course this doesn’t look as good as with a dedicated HDR workflow (gotta get Photmatix), but I’m quite satisfied.
