Above Fisher Towers

[furthertofly]

Fisher Towers is a popular climbing destination along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah. This P4P still photo is HDR, made from 3 exposures at 2EV intervals, triggered manually and not through automatic burst function. slight breeze, perhaps 5 mph, clearly enough hover stability to accomplish HDR photography.

Splendid! The colors hardly seem real. Photo has much depth. Good work!

Yes, warm sunset light on on red rock goes crazy orange. You have to see it in person to believe it.

I'm not a huge fan of HDR images and this one looks a bit too artificial. The DR of the P4P camera, though not great, is more than enough when the lighting is good as it is here. I'm not sure if this is a technique problem, but all too often HDR images just don't look real. Sorry, not trying to hate...

No video from your flight? Beautiful picture.

Yes, did a bit of video but no time to edit at the moment. Stay tuned.

Great shot. A bit heavy on saturation. Suggestion: drop your elevation and shoot more sky and horizon. Makes for good context. Interesting photos always have good background foreground context. Tell more story.

HDR is a problem in that you can generate a much greater DR doing so but you are still limited to the fairly small DR of your typical monitor. Kind of like trying pack 10 pounds of stuff in a 3 pound bag. Even high end cameras don't help much because you're still limited by whatever output device you have. It takes a lot of experience, and patience, to know how to do it and to make it work for the output intended. Frankly, the DR of a good DSLR is already stretching the capabilities of even the best monitors without doing HDR.
