or "save as" to your computer, then post it here like you do any photo you post here, with whatever program you use to do that.

It is an incredible photo.

and it would have to stay in the same place for as long as you are doing the shots, at least I think that is how it would have to be done. I don't know how it is done though. I bet someone here knows though.

Seeing that photo, I have to wonder if it was done over more than one day or if that all happened in one day.

easy enough, and as I often watch progression of sunsets here, and they change dramatically, I suspect I could get some good ones. May work on it when cold weather departs, cause don't want to sit/stay outside for 30+ plus minutes in the cold, chicken-hearted me!

aligns the three images then combines them. If I could skip the align, and have the Ev set to zero on the camera, it might work.

I use HDRist for HDR, and will try it for image stacking time lapse.
