Old Forest in Yosemite

    When I was walking through this forest, we had a photowalk-of-sorts going on with a ton of people going here and there. It was sort of Ewok-like with all the activity. We’d all have to ask one another to hide behind trees and duck out of the way, since we were all criss-crossing our shots this way and that. Often times, the shot I really wanted to get required me to clamber up and over big fallen trees. There’s not really a graceful way to do this. No matter how many times I do it, I continually look like I’m just barely keeping it together…

      I love the texture of the forest floor. Was there a lot of green in the original shots? I remember you saying in one of your tutorials that green isn't such a good match with HDR.

      green does not work well in tone mapping generally:) In HDR I think it works fine, especially when you are masking the natural green in from other exposures!

      The deeper colors and the backlighting from the sunset are great.

      i like your images

      You are, hands down, my favorite photographer. I have been following you for over a year anticipating every one of your photographs. But, I'm not that happy with this one. When you did your HDR instructional...I remember and live by one of your rules "don't HDR trees". I like the colors that came out, but I find that the trees look too busy and the ground looks too fuzzy.

      Although I'm not too fond of this photo, I really look forward to seeing your next piece :)
