It seems a bit quiet here on the Landscape forum, so I thought I'd chime in with an image.
This was taken on the same hike as my previous image here (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/88641-Unknown-Waterfall). This was on day 2 of the hike, and the rain cleared up just enough to allow a quick shot late in the morning.
I climbed onto a rock and asked my fellow hikers to hide behind the rocks so as to not have humans in the shot (something I don't like in landscape photography, some do and each to his own :bg3:). This was a handheld 3-exposure image which I merged with Photomatix Fusion (it gives a much more realistic blend than normal Photomatix HDR and works well for aligning images which might not have been perfectly shot ie handheld).
I just love the depth here and the array of colours and textures. I would love to do this hike again in the spring/summer. Having the aloe in front in bloom would have been nice too :Whoa!:.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 18-55mm IS @ 18mm
f11 @ ISO-200
