The entry sign as you are driving east on Verona Rd. I got lucky on Sunday and the sky participated with me (my first entry had a rather dull sign)
My photos were taken using exposure bracketing to get -3, -2, -1. I also took 0, -1, and +2, but when adding those to the mix, there was a major halo around the sign, so I left then out (also, the clouds moved enough in the time it took to adjust to exposure, that they lost sharpness).
To create the HDR image, I used the free tool HDRtist on the 3 RAW files, with the little slider set about 1/3 of the way above the third notch.
After saving the HDR to a jpeg (all this program supports for export), I rotated slightly for a level horizon, cropped a bit, stamped out a background light post that stuck out just above the sign, resized, burned a bit to reduce hallows, and sharpened.
