Sometimes subtle tones and mood of a single image outweigh the bang of the HDR image, there I said it. My routine is to shoot HDR image sets then decide later what I like best, the single image, single/HDR blend or “full-tilt” HDR. As landscape photographers say “be there and be prepared” as in, 5am and with your best camera. Add another and make it a three-some, be open-minded. So here it is, BE THERE, BE PREPARED AND BE OPEN-MINDED, sorry I’m not really yelling this.
23rd floor sunrise with coffee. Taken with D3, HDR pano, 2 image sets. This was processed in the lesser used module of Photomatix called Fusion.
no comments When you fly in february from the cold state of Maryland to south Florida it’s very apparent that latitude matters. Forget the obvious, warm temperatures, shorts and t-shirts but damn those skies are something to appreciate. The low humidity and cumulus clouds make for some photogenic scenes. I settled into my brothers high rise condo and looked over the balcony in a strong wind and immediately felt light headed. “Ok, Kenny, you have an awesome view here, I can’t wait to shoot this at sunrise.” Give me a drink, I want to toast the awesomeness of this place.
 It's hard to appreciate a pano that's a small image. But I'm posting my limit here. The full res image is made from 6 pics taken with the Nikon 1 V1 and is about 8500px.
1 comment Bermuda during a turbulent morning, the waters were stirring and the sky was on fire.
no comments Multnomah Falls near Portland Oregon is a must see but getting an original vantage point is not so easy. The hike to the falls stops in a circular area where everyone takes a picture, so why not, when in Rome do as the Romans. I took about 50 shots of the falls all within a 10 foot section of metal railing, hmmm not sure why I got carried away with shooting so much but the falls are pretty spectacular. I wanted to jump the railing and go further down but you know those park rangers can get mean. It was fun, we never walked to the bridge but of course that’s an option if you feel energetic. Oh, there was a bride and groom there with their photographer so you know it had to be a good place to go for pictures.
