HDR Photography - April 2012

This month the contest theme is HDR Photography. HDR or (High Dynamic Range) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter.

Enter a photo by joining the group and attaching the photo to your response in this discussion, not a new discussion.
Contest Rules:
1. Entry photos must be somehow related to Long Shutter Speed Photography.
2. If you enter a photo - it must be your own work.
3. Post-processing or photo editing is allowed, but keep in mind if you go overboard on it, people probably won't vote for your photo.
4. 1 photo per person per month.
5. Members can give their opinions about entries, and then the entries will be narrowed down to three in the last few days of the month for final voting in a new discussion.

This is the Animas river in souther Colorado during the fall. It is a three shot 4EV HDR picture taken on a tripod using the Sony in-camera HDR. I then processed it to bring back the dynamic range from the compressed tones.
