I am preparing a retrospective of 2015 for our family blog. In doing so, I am looking back at hundreds of photos and this one cried out for a little HDR treatment. Enjoy it here before hte retrospective is finished (this will take several more hours or even days).

OK, I may have overdone it with the HDR treatment here. But I kind of like the “ghost” Marianne on the left!

Getting some fresh morning air by the ocean and getting ready to squash the amusement park.

Those colors, they really were there. iPhone 5 image, processed with Aurora HDR.

We spent a few days there for a conference Marianne participated in. Photo taken with iPhone 5, and edited with Aurora HDR.

Photo taken with an iPhone 4, on October 21 2012, during a cruise on the Hudson river.

Sunset near Atlantic City, NJ, September 2012. Taken with iPhone 4, reworked with Aurora HDR. Actually, not much reworking was necessary, these colors were already in the photo.

This photo was taken in May 2012 in Elbow Beach, Bermuda, with an iPhone 4. Now that I am trying to relax a bit after finishing a semester’s grading last night, I thought I would return to it and play some more with it in Aurora HDR Pro. I like the newest version’s good Super Smooth denoise filter.
