Exposure bracketing & lens flare removal with Shutter & Photoshop

In the following video guide, photographer Ian Middleton shows you how he uses Shutter to capture the magical moment when the sun rises over Mt. Storžič behind the historic Jamnik Church. He then guides you through blending the multiple exposures and easily removing unwanted lens flare for a professional result.

Shutter features used

• Grid overlays to line up the mountain peak and church
• Exposure Bracketing to capture the full dynamic range of the scene for blending later
• Intervalometer for continuous shooting as the sun moves up the side of the mountain
