Troy,

How apt! I will be revisiting this region and will find a nicer location to shoot from.

Beautifully composed shot. We must talk some time about your post-processing steps for landscapes. I'll play the grasshopper, you are of course the master.

Dean,

Cheers.

HDR, in my opinion, just does not work -- I've ended up with halos (for example around straight lines) and bizarre colouring artifacts. I have had far greater success by manually blending and adjusting through Photoshop whilst trying to adhere to the Zone System. Of course, this doesn't always work and I end up doing what I think works.

Software like Photomatix Pro makes the HDR side of post processing fairly easy and massively increases the dynamic range of the shot.

Marc,

Thanks, mate. Looking forward to heading back so I can do some more.
