Forest Exposure

Deep and dark in the trees.
Wow. This is definitely a time for HDR. There was no wind. Calm and no movement. So I tried it out. More than 7 stops from the sky to the forest floor. Pushed a 9 exposure bracket at .7 difference per exposure. Ran it through Photomatix. The important thing I found with this shot is that I started at -1.3 EV. If not the sky would have blown out. Turned out pretty darn close to the actual setting.

This is an amazing shot. In my opinion this is what HDR was meant to do. I love the realism...You are becoming quite the expert.

This HDR stuff intrigues me. Could you do me a favor sometime and post a few of the multiple exposures with the final product? It would be interesting to see what features are pulled from each.

You are an HDR superman!
