Morning Mist at the Lagoon

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

This was shot in Stanley Park in Vancouver one morning. Vancouver always seems to be nice and cloudy, so the colorful trees around the park always stand out nicely. There was a giant swan floating nearby while I was walking around, so I took this single RAW and converted to HDR so I could be sure to get all the little colors in the trees and the various shades in the sky and water.

Yes I was in Stanley Park in Vancouver when I took this one. There is a little lagoon there that looks nice in the Autumn, so my timing was lucky!

Fantastic work! I spend a lot of time shooting at Lost Lagoon, and love it there. I especially like how you've got downtown in the background -- that's an angle on Lost Lagoon I'd never considered.
