Yosemite: "Dana/Gibbs View" 2-photos

Hikin' Mike

My wife and I took a trip to Yosemite for the afternoon on Friday (06-22-07). This is one of my favorite spots along the Tioga Road. It's "handicapped accessible", meaning that there aren’t many rocks along the way. This trip I decided to park my “wheels” beside a tree that had a small mound. It was the highest point that I could get too and see some of the reflections of the peaks. Had to be careful because the water was inches away from the front and right side of my wheelchair.

It was great because the mosquitoes were not bad. The skies were almost clear and had just a slight breeze so I decided to try a HDR. I’m usually not a fan of 95% of the HDRs that I see, but I think this shot looks “natural”.

I'm undecided as to which one I prefer...actually I already know, but I'd like to see what others think. Thanks for the feedback...

I like this shot
Mike,
I like the 5 stop HDR the best. It has better contrast and it pops where the 3 stop looks flat to me. Great shot!

Hi Sheila, Thanks for stopping in. Just a little FYI, when using quotes in a reply try to limit the quote to just the relevant text or at least remove all of the images as that can make a thread really hard to read. No worries though, I fixed it for ya . :dragon
