Once again the image is the same image of the Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai, but I used a different technique. I opened the image in Adobe Camera raw and adjusted the exposure down to -3, saved as a JPG, saved an image with an exposure setting of 2 and set one with no exposure changes. Brought all three into Photomatix Pro and created HDR and tonemapped. Much better result in the clouds. See the details.
