You know you can achieve the same effect without all the PP effort? 10-stop ND filter on, long exposure, job done.
Obviously, you have to carry a tripod with you...

I have read about that technique and seen examples but never tried it so far. If I am out by myself I will certainly give it a go.
On the day it wasn't possible as I didn't have my tripod with me.
In the articles I read I didn't think the ND filter was necessary as you do median stacking on a series of shots.

Good job! I haven't been to the North Little Rock downtown area, but I have done some wondering around downtown LR by the convention center.

Little Rock: The only guy I know from Little Rock says people always ask the Little Rock folk, "Are all those stories about Bill and Hillary Clinton true?" And they always answer, "Yes, and I know a dozen other good ones you've never heard."
I hope it wasn't after when the sun went down. LOL
Funny you say that. My father in-law is friends with Bills head of security on Bills detail while he was governor. I've heard quite a few.

Took my daughter yesterday to see Frozen on Ice...weeee. While we were waiting to leave the parking lot, figured I'd take a shot of the Astrodome. I took two shots in order to get the entire thing. Figured I'd merge the two together in photoshop.
Here are the first two pics before merging.
I copied both pics over into photoshop as new layers.
Once in photoshop, I selected both layers and then chose Edit - Auto Align Layers
This merges the two into one picture. I then edited out the light pole. Giving me the following picture.
I then added another layer and brought in a picture of some clouds I had taken last year at the lake.
I did use the clone stamp to fill in some of the empty spaces between the trees. Once completed I saved back into lightroom. In lightroom I made just a slight increase on the clarity. I then exported it to Nik Silver Efects for the black and white conversion.
This technique can come in handy when you don't happen to have a wide angle lens on you.

I like the way you added clouds to give the photo some more punch and to cover the line in the sky caused by the color difference. Nice job @dickelfan
Here is one that just had too many distractions, so they were removed (GIMP). Preprocessed with Capture NX-d (1st Photo shows NX-D results). Second photo is with the distractions removed.

I am starting to play around more. First image is almost straight from Capture NX-D Second is after adding border using GIMP. Third is using some layers and overlay to see how it would enhance.

Did you download Perfect Effects 9? I only use it for the borders and it's very handy for those. The advantage is that it can load and process 16bit too. It's also very quick since you can put your borders in favorites; load, click, save and done.
