Day 412 - Neither rain nor hail...

ISO 100, 24mm, f/11, 1/8 sec.

nor sleet nor snow will make me forget that spring is just around the corner.

Our weather was a complete mixed bag today not to mention the flipping cold. We had sun, rain, hail and snow.

I dug deep into the archives to take me to a sunnier, warmer day.

I took this photo on March 14, 2010. The state capitol is beautiful when the cherry trees are in full bloom.

This image of the capitol was a slightly underexposed image that I tweaked in Lightroom tonight. I was quite pleased the results especially when I compared it to the HDR photo below.

ISO 100, 24mm, f/11, HDR 0.5, 1/8, 1/30 sec.

When I took the image last year, I bracketed the photos so that I could run it through an HDR filter. This was my finished product.
