Shoshpne #2 Close Up


Part of photography is location, location, location. Finding that sweet spot that captures the essence of the scene. Walking hours on end waiting for the perfect light. Camera and tripod over shoulder with twenty pounds or so in a a back pack or vest. Searching, seeking that one and only spot to shoot. Or if you are at a national, city, or state park that has cliffs and water falls, you shoot behind the fence. Where ever the fence is. At Shoshone falls it's obvious that the law abiding photographers stay on the trail and behind the fence. So I shot where everyone else shoots. How many have a 14-24, f/2/8 lens? And shoot the scene in using HDR? Probably hundreds or thousands. So if you have seen Shoeshone falls there is no new views. Hopefully just new ways to see the same view.

I'm curious how HDR does with moving water. The water looks nice. Any comments?

That's the cool thing about a water fall and HDR. If it's a slow exposure. The misty look is just enhanced with the multiple image HDR. Cool huh? Oh and the rocks are not moving. I did have to fix the edge of the first shot near the sunset. There was a strange band of colors at the edge of the rock at the sunset.
