I took this HDR on our drive into YNP. I used my tripod and set my D3000 to manual mode. I chose a higher F stop to get a longer depth of field. I wanted everything to be sharp and in focus.
1st expouser= 1/30 s, F/14,ISO200, 28mm FL
2nd expouser= 1/10s, F14,ISO200, 28mm FL
3rd expouser= 1/60s, F14, ISO200, 28mm FL
This is another HDR i took. This one i based my exposures off of what i wanted to be lit. So i used my light meter to figure out what was appropriate for the foreground, mid ground and background.
1st expouser= 1/60 s, F/4.8,ISO400, 100mm FL
2nd expouser= 1/30s, F4.8,ISO400, 100mm FL
3rd expouser= 1/200s, F4.8, ISO200, 100mm FL
I liked how this one turned out. I took it while we were in the forrest that had recently been burnt down. I like how the tree which is in focus pulls you through the picture to the human shape in the background. The fog in the background adds a nice effect to it too.

This picture really worked out nice for me. I like the lines the trees make, and how it leads up to the sun shinny through the fog. the contrast between the light background and the dark trees makes this picture pop. I didn't edit it other then adjusting the contrast a little bit. I was able to get it so dark by using a fast shutter speed and a high F stop.
1/1000s, F/16, ISO100, 55mm FL
I really got carried away with HDR photography this year. This being another one. I just like how vivid and bright it makes everything. This is a well balanced picture to me. The tree on the left side brings you up to the water feature, which looks turbulent and flowing. this picture is how i saw the water fall in person. If i were to just take one exposure i do not beleive it would do any justice to the raw beauty of this waterfall.
1st expouser= 1/125 s, F/13,ISO100, 95mm FL
2nd expouser= 1/40s, F13,ISO100, 95mm FL
3rd expouser= 1/320s, F13, ISO100, 95mm FL
This is just another HDR that I took of the water fall, just i used my 55-200 mm lense and zoomed in close to the water. I really like the feeling the water portrays in this. Its exciting.
1st expouser= 1/100 s, F/13,ISO100, 105mm FL
2nd expouser= 1/320s, F13,ISO100, 105mm FL
3rd expouser= 1/30s, F13, ISO100, 105mm FL
I like capturing action, and freezing movement. When i took this picture there was direct sunlight out which makes for harsh pictures. I decided to take advantage of this crap lightening by turing my shutter speed up. I wanted to take a fast picture so i could freeze the water in the air and i wanted it to be fast enough to leave the picture dark and give it the look of a dark stormy cold world. I like how the purples came out and play into the water and this attitude i wanted.d I shot this in manual with out a tripod but with a polarizer
1/3200s, F/5.6, ISO200, 200mm
For this one i was just screwing around and wanted to take a macro shot. I dont like this one at all. I over exposed the edges of it. I just kind of like the clarity of the green. Perhaps some photoshop could make this look a little better, i think this falls under the saying "garbage in garbage out"
1/160th's, F 5.6, ISO100 200mm FL
This one i liked because of it kind of creates a sense of doubt when you first look at it. People are not sure what it is. Confusion is not a good virtue with a picture, but i like it. The water line just kind of cuts through the picture leaving the illision of a infinity pool. while the reflection of the trees make it a little interesting.
1/1000s, F/5.6, ISO100, 100mm
I dont like this picture either. I put it in here as proof that we saw a bear. Its over exposed and not exciting. I was limited by all the tourist there (even though i am also a tourist). I did not have a powerful enough lense to get a picture worth taking. but i did at least give it the old "college try".
To me this picture does a good job at showing the rocky, isolated, harsh environment that these animals thrive in. It is cut in-half by the horizon. This does a good job of framing the mountain goats in. Using the sky as a background for the mountain goats help them to pop out and be seen.
1/800s, F/18, ISO200, 200mm
These two pictures of the goats where just taken on shutter priority mode, not very exciting pictures. The goats were eating dirt, not much to work with. It took alot of effort to even get them to notice us. The one with the singular goat i framed with him mostly on the left side of the picture. This created a balance that i enjoyed.
1/500s, F/11, ISO268, 200mm
This was at yellowstone park, my objective with it was to capture the buffalo walking and blur out the background by sweeping my camera and keeping it trained on the bison with a slower shutter speed. I think it worked fairly well, and i like how bright the background is. I did not edit this other then contrast. I shot this on shutter priority mode.
1/50s, f6.3, ISO 268, 185mmFL
For this one i chose a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the water and darken the bright sun.I was in manual mode and i was fully zoomed in with my 55-200mm lens. I really like the layers in this, and how the fog provides a good background for the water spout.
1/1600s, F5.6, ISO100, 200mm FL
The lightening was not very good. It put alot of harsh shadows on these goats.
This was one of the first HDR photos i took. It is also one of my favorites. One of my friends on facebook commented that it reminded him of a bad dream. I think a picture is successful if it evokes an emotion in someone, whether thats happiness or sadness all the same. The colors worked well in this one too, all it is missing is some melting clocks on the rims.
Using HDR i was able to capture the depth of the clouds above me. This picture has a lot of emotion in it, and kind of portrays the "before the storm" motif.
This was one i took of the sky. I took this picture on my way to work on the rims. It is a HDR, this was in my early stages when i was first trying to figure it out. It is a little over done and busy. I was able to capture the diagonal lines in the sun rays. This did work well.
In this HDR i was trying to capture the depth and contrast of the clouds. I think this did well. The clouds come across very strong and bold. I do like this picture.
This HDR ended up looking more like a painting then a photo. I did use 2-3 stops instead of one to make it look more vivid. I really like how the HDR softened up the vegetation on the rims too. that helps it feel more like a painting instead of a photo.
This HDR cloud one also turned out kind of cool because it looks like it has a face. I did up the contrast alot on this one to make it look so dark and deep.
I like how this picture is set up. My subject is in focus and you can get a sense of what she is trying to capture. when you look at the picture you first see the girl, then you follow it up and see what she is doing, then you see her subject infront of her, and it completes the story.
1/80's, F6.3, ISO268, 157mm FL
This was just a random HDR one i took. I do like how it is set up with the diagonals running through it which are then cut apart by the vertical trees.
This one was at the Aspen grove. I like how it is set up. I did have to adjust the Hue and saturation to get the colors where I wanted them. I like how it is set up. The whispy clouds in the sky complements the positions of the trees to make the picture almost look circular.
1/60's F9, ISO268, 55mm FL
In this picture i was working on my sweeping effect. I was using a slower shutter speed trying to match the dogs motion, so the background is blurry and the dog is in focus. This would have been a good effect to use on a wolf, but i did not get the opportunity to see one. I do like how this turned out, and i think the same rules apply in shooting non domesticated animals.
1/640s, F5.3, ISO268, 165mmFL
This was a sunset i captured out at phipps park. I used my polarizer filter, set a high F stop and had a fast shutter speed to make up for the brightness of the sun.
1/400s, F32, ISO100 155mmFL
In this picture i wanted to work on freezing motion, so i used a really fast shutter speed and a dog as my subject (no wild animals were available). This is tricky to get the timing right and to pull off using such a fast shutter speed with the lightening right.
1/800s, F8, ISO268, 120mm FL
this was a macro i took with my speed light. I set a low F stop to blur the background out. I like how it turned out, and i feel the speed light lit up the flowers evenly.
1/200s, F5, ISO400, 145mm FL
