Chasing the Light

by RR Jr on June 17, 2008

Shaupeneak Ridge Sunrise
Shaupeneak Ridge, Hudson Valley

This image was made by combining several exposures (5 total) into an HDR image. It was the only way I was able to capture the extreme dynamic range found between the bright sky and relatively dark foreground. I was literally running around this field trying to find an interesting composition before the amazing sky disappeared.

I will be talking more about HDR imaging in an upcoming article, and will be including it in a future workshop covering advanced techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Robert, I saw that sky last night from my office and said to myself, “I’m sure Robert is out there finding the perfect image of it! Can’t wait to see what he creates!”
