More Bean
Passing rain clouds added some drama to the skies over (and the reflections on) Cloud Gate, aka The Bean, in Chicago's Millennium Park.
And then the sun came out.
And it made people smile.
Technical stuff: Photographs are single-image HDR. Individual RAW files processed into three separate images with 2-stop exposure difference and merged in Photomatix Pro. Original RAW images exposed for highlights, which diminishes stereotypical HDR artifacts like grayed-out highlights and halos around objects of high contrast.
