No, not in camera HDR, just a single shot, but used a tone mapping software utility to help bring out the shadows.

Note - I wanted to add that - especially since I have learned this lesson several times now, that with large ships or boats in general - at night, THEY MOVE! (even if they are docked or tied up) Wind, tide, etc. - even though they look like they don't move, they do. So, by using bracketing or in body HDR, you are taking multiple shots, which just amplify the movement. That is why, if I am even going to try for a HDR shot, I don't use in camera HDR, and just use bracketing. If there is any movement and the combined shots look crappy - I can use the best single shot and process that - thereby avoiding the problem.

Originally posted by Bob Harris love the compositions here, beautiful colors and P/P . You're not in Tumbleweed right now for sure.
The composition, believe it or not - was based on trying to minimize the burn out of the lighting. In retrospect, I should have used the EV compensation to underexpose, but it did not occur to me to do that. Live and learn. I have some others that suffer from burn through on the street lights even worse. I have been working on learning Light Room 4, so have been using these older shots to see what I can do - since its 110 out side here in the shady part of downtown Tumbleweed.
In some of the more extreme cases of street lamp burn through, I really don't know what else can be done.
