The nearby fires obscured the view and created a haze most of the
afternoon at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. Yet that same smoke
pollution made for some spectacular orange sunset colors. This is a
5-shot hdr image. I used HDR to get more detail in both the lightest
and the darkest areas of the photo. Getting detail is especially
difficult for low-light shots.
It is a real joy to be able to use my eyes, my camera, and my
developing skills to allow you my friends to be able to share in a
special moment like this one. Photography has a wonderful ability to
transport us into the time, place, and experience of another human
being.
Truly a miracle.
RendyChen asked for more info on HDR
This should be enough to get you started:
Popular Photography shows off one software you can try
A good tutorial using Photomatix
Stuck in Customs - one of flickr's best HDRtists - updated tutorial
For a more technical explanation
That will keep you busy for moths to come. . . .
Oh, and if you decide to purchase Photomatix (my favorite HDR software) you can give them the code
"TimothyKHamilton" for a 10% discount. They are fans of
mine as well, you see. . .
