The sun sets in the wake of the Natchez Steamboat on the Mississippi river.

I was able to take a wonderful steamboat ride on the Mississippi river this week as a part of a trip to New Orleans (reason: never been!). While on the boat, we were served dinner and got to listen to some nice jazz. Additionally, the sun set and made for a pretty scene. The above image is actually a composite of two exposures– not a true HDR (which I think requires 3 exposures) but just a lighter and darker image, with an image mask to reconcile them.  I think it turned out pretty nice. As did my trip.
