    Nice shot, Marcy. The HDR looks very natural and pleasing! thumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Lots of drama...especially like the cloudy sky showing off the boulder! Not over the top to me.

    The treatment works well. Good detail while maintaining a natural look.

    I'm not much on HDRs but shots like this could change my mind.

    thanks for all the nice comments - I really enjoy doing shots like this - but you have to lug around the tripod sometimes - the day I shot this one was real poor light and HDR helped pop the picture

    How did you do it?
    I'm learning HDR, and your shot is fantastic, so I'm curious as to what your workflow is for a shot like this. Do you shoot 3 shots? 5 shots? What software do you use to render the HDR? What sliders or knobs do you play with in the software?
    Cheers!!
    Marc.

    Looks good, Marcy! thumb.gif You got a good subject and nice processing.

    BTW, you don't always need a tripod to do daytime HDRs. If your camera has a high enough burst rate, you can put it into autobracketing, and just hold down the shutter to fire off a bracketed burst. Most cameras know to end the burst when the bracket is done. Shoot it maybe three times that way to be sure you've got a good one. Photomatix is great about correcting minor shifts of the scene due to camera movement.
