I created this HDR landscape from 3 shots taken from my car window during our trip to the northern section of the Kruger Park in December 2009. I normally opt for manual blending these days but stick to Photomatix when I had to shoot bracketed shots handheld, as it does a good job of lining up the features in an image.
I wanted to blend exposures here to correctly portray the beautiful sky I saw while capturing the detail apparent in the foreground.
These fever trees stood out nicely in this open plain in the midst of what is typically dense bushveld.
The topography of this area is a bit "rolling" hence the apparent "dip" in the centre of the horizon.
Techs:
Nikon D300s with 18-200mm VR
f11 @ ISO-200
