MOUNT SHASTA (UN-PLANNED PHOTOGRAPHY RETREAT)

I started to shoot HDR When i just began my Profession as a full time photographer. It was way to early for me to attempt such an advanced technique. My results were not that great in the beginning so I put it away and stepped back into learning the basics. On a recent trip to Mount Shasta I found a book at my Mom and Dads house that spoke about HDR techniques. It got me wanting to attempt it again. It had been about 2 years since I last tried. The results were way better! It's amazing how experience teaches better than any medium of education! Here are the results of my HDR Attempts. I am very happy with these photos - THE STORY: Me and my family went on a quest to look upon all the epic waterfalls we could in the time we had. We looked at about four Falls after a generous amount of Driving and hiking. I have to say that it was the first time in a long time since I have felt a feeling of awe involving nature. Living on the central coast doesn't permit those moments room when your surrounded in beauty everyday. When I got home the glory of those visuals lingered leaving me feeling like I got to see more of the treasure of the world we live in.
