Why Use HDR?

GNC Frog Pond

We had a semi overcast sky the other morning.  I gave  nice diffuse light.  The sun was barely visible through the clouds.  I like such circumstances for landscape.  My first shot surprised me with all the "blinkies" on my LCD.  I quickly decided that HDR was in order.

The sky was an important part of the image, don't you think?  I captured five images ranging in two stop intervals from negative 4 to positive 4 exposure compensation.  I used Photomatix to combine them.  

I thought this an opportunity not to waste.   

GNC Vernal Pool

I liked this sky above the vernal pool also.  This was shot with: Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 10 to 20mm  f/4-5.6 lens at f/16.  Shutter speeds were 1/350, 1/90, 1/20, 1/6, .7.  I used a Manfrotto 3021 tripod.  I used my trusty double bubble level and mirror lock on the camera and a shutter remote.
