Description

This is my HDR M42 imaging project, using LRGB tecnique under a pretty dark rural sky; I blended three different exposure times in a single image, for every filter, using a dedicated HDR compositing software to better represent every part of this beautiful winter object. Image taken in February 2020, just before entering the awful lockdown period.
