Couple from todays hike..

Went for a hike up in mountains near home (10mins) to a fav place of mine Minnewaska State Park to see the water raging off the mountain. I was up there last week and most of it was still frozen. Its flowin now!

1.

This was a three shot HDR. Shot handheld all day and used a tree here.

2.



3.

Sheldon Falls. Another 3 shot bracketed. This is a serious rage and is typical only for the next month or so.

4.

The lighting here wasnt anywhere close to decent when I arrived, I continued with bracketing here to make the most of it and decided to go B&W in PP.

5.

This is the view of the ridge I was on today from my ride home. Had to stop for the barn shot! I pass it all the time and have always wanted to stop. Sky was a little forgiving.

Thanks for taking a peek!

1 & 2 are very nice. Handheld? Nice job!

Thanks Trey! Yeah, I used a tree and had my 20-35mm & hood on. Gives me good side support for resting against trees. For today, I decided not to carry the tripod. Took about 15/each to get one I was happy with..

Nice job on these, especially handheld! Definitely got some good flow on those falls.

I love the b/w conversion and the last shot in particular. So colorful and the blue plays nicely with the yellow.

Nice set. I like the lighting and exposure you got on the first in particular.

first two are quite promising, looks like a great spot, but the whites are pretty badly blown. i'd recommend going back with an ND filter and shooting these a stop or two underexposed... you'll get darker shadows, but you can balance the whole thing with some judicious use of HDR processing... #4 looks good, but it looks a bit crooked...

#4 is excellent! Nice shot.
