Down to the River, an HDR Sunset

I’ve been wanting to head down to the river for a few days with my camera/tripod/nexus 7 setup to do some HDR photography as the sun set. So, when the clouds broke yesterday afternoon I grabbed my gear and headed down to the river with a friend. The setup worked beautifully. I took two sets…
