About the Image(s)
Canon R5, ISO 500, f16, 96mm, 5 Seconds. On a tripod.
This was taken from a church parking lot at sunset. There was a full moon out highlighting Mt Rainier.
This is a composite of 6 photos. 3 photos (different time exposures) focused on the foreground combined in Photomatics for an HDR of the lights and trees. 3 photos focused on the mountain combined in Photomatics for an HDR of the sky and mountain.
The two HDRs were brought into Affinity Photo for combining, and removal of the numerous power lines.
Final adjustments in Capture One.
I tried to make it not look too fake - but it looks “photoshopped” to me. Any suggestions?

I had a look at your original and because of all the busy extra stuff in it, it looks more realistic than your finished image, and the original does not announce "too photoshopped" at all. How about inserting the railing of a deck into your finished image to suggest that this is the view of Mt. Rainier from someone's back deck?   Posted: 01/07/2021 12:22:11
