Greg, this is incredible. Any chance you'd share your workflow on this one?

Thanks Dave.

This is shot at 14mm focal length. And it is a 5-shot Photomatix HDR composition. Without looking, its a pretty small aperture, maybe f16-18. Somewhere in there.

Ok, thanks. I think you're pretty good at using Photomatix ! I've just started working with it and am going to work on my HDR skills. Hope I can put some together soon. Also hope you won't mind if I ask some questions over the next couple of weeks? I'm hoping to get some good material to work with over my vacation to Yosemite and San Francisco.

Thanks again for the info.

Absolutely. Take your tripod. Set up the camera to auto bracket 3-5-7 shots. Shoot in RAW. That way, as you get better in Photomatix, you can always go back to your originals and rework them!

Very jealous of your upcoming trip!
