Three image HDR at Bad Water, Death Valley National Park.
Last Friday/Saturday a big storm came through California and forced me to scrub some shoots cause of high winds. I was hoping that the weather would clear by the a.m. for a sunrise shoot at Badwater of the snow cap peaks, etc. Well it was cloudy as **** and visibility was poor due to high winds.So as I'm heading out to the parking lot sulking, I noted that I could make an interesting composition using the spring and standing water against the clearing in the eastern sky. Thus took the 3 images at -2, 0, and + 2. I had a polarizer on the lens to cut the glare and emphasize the rocks.
The shot made the morning for me given that I was convinced that the morning was worthless.
I shot this about 12" off the ground on tripod. I used Photomatix pro and PS on the post processing.
Camera: Canon EOS 5D w/17-40L w/tiffen wide angle polarizer
Aperture: f/11
multiple exposures
Focal Length: 17 mm
ISO Speed: 250 (due to winds)
