Pretty sure you can, if Apple can parent a rectangle with rounded edges...

It's in Homebush mate. There are 3 or 4 pre WW1 & 2 navy boats that were partially sunk in the 70's or something. This is pretty much the only one you can get a good photo of.

That's very cool! What is that, about 15 several exposure?

Close... It was 3 exposures. It's actually a HDR (which I normally really hate) but I was having difficulty getting the focus on the boat, my torch was too weak an the boat was too far. So I had to manual focus then stack the images. Then I thought, why not HDR to bring out the dark side of the boat. Not bad for a HDR

Indeed, it doesn't look like HDR, that makes it win

True, however I can see a bit of a shadow effect around the buildings which I didn't see before

It's fine enough though

Yeah, I noticed the box shadow. Also a bit of banding up the top of the photo too by the look of it.

Looks amazing for a HDR photo though.

Oh yeah that's just the clouds, it's less noticeable in the original crop. I did this crop for my Facebook.
