This image is from our recent trip to the South African Highveld region of Dullstroom.
At first it didn't look like I would be able to test out my new 7D/10-22mm/Kenko pro CPL combo for landscapes, but after some exploration I found a scene that gave me plenty of compositional options.
Here is a blend of 3 exposures taken one morning. I was shooting in the other direction but wanted to get a shot of the sun flaring through an angle in the rocks.
The sky was cloudless that morning, and I also should have wiped the filter clean before shooting into the sun (thanks Kobus) :(.
All critique most welcome!
Techs:
Canon 7D with 10-22mm USM @ 12mm
f22 @ ISO-100
-2;0;+2 bracketing
HDR using manual blending in Photoshop and I also threw in one layer of the same shot blended in Photomatix at high opacity.
