Dave posted some great pictures looking at the Alabama Hills from a distance. These two snapshots were taken up in the rocks to give you an idea what the hills look like up close.

A bit to HDR'ish for my taste, but to each his own. When were these taken?


6D, G9, Sigma 50 1.4, Sigma 15mm Fisheye, Sigma 50 2.8 macro, Nikon 14-24G 2.8, Canon 16-35 2.8 II, Canon 24-105 f/4 IS, Canon 70-200 2.8 IS, tripod, lights, other stuff.

Irishman, these were taken about a month ago coming back from a ski trip. As for the 'tweeking', I seem to be drifting more toward 'enhancement' as I learn more about digital processes. I just recently changed over from film, and find the options available in digital very interesting.

For the landscape purists, here is what it 'really' looked like on that overcast day without running it through Photomatrix.

I have to agree with irishman...the HDR is way overdone to the point that the rocks look totally unnatural. Might be your take on "enhancement", but just not my cup of tea, I guess...

Way overdone IMO. I like the "original" one. :)

I'm no expert but I love them. Nice PP. I guess I just like things that move away from the normal sometimes.

Well, there is probably a happy medium somewhere in there. I appreciate the comments everyone.
