On the night of the
Smiley Face Conjunction, before the sun set and the conjunction was visible, I was able to capture some dramatic sunset scenes over Brisbane Water, from Yattalunga and
Green Point on the Central Coast of NSW.
I captured and processed these using HDR techniques. It’s a fairly new technique for me and not everyone is a fan of the type of images it can produce - sometimes producing unrealistic fairytale type images, or with halo artefacts, depending on the extent of the processing.
I used Photomatix and Photoshop for processing.

I'm keen for your feedback.
Cheers
