Here's a tip by Michael Bates that uses Gimp to blend two different exposures together. A shot like this is always hard to get quite right, if you set your exposure so that the shadowy trees are clear then the light will blow out your exposure, and if you want a clear and controller exposure of the opening at the end of the road, you will get dark trees. Here we have a predicament; we have two exposures of an image; the one on the left is too dark for the peripheral detail to be of any use at all, and the image on the right has an overexposed centre.
