March 8, 2007 HDR Thriller (ice)

The Icy Pit to Hell, originally uploaded by Stuck in Customs.

A simply remarkable photo that I am glad somebody took! Iceland has been on my list of places to go, and I think it just went up a couple of notches. And You simply HAVE TO see it Large on Black. Walking through Stuck in Customs photos on Flickr makes you want to go to lots of places and also makes you appreciate HDR done to near perfection.

And while I simply had to put up the icy pit pic above as Today's Thriller, I saw another one that caught my eye that I'll link to as an honorable mention. Definitely drips with mood.

Lake Massabesic on Ice, originally uploaded by mjp3000.

WTF is up with this shot? It's a shame that my search for "ice" found this pic. mjp3000 actually has some nice HDR shots posted on Flickr, but this one is not his best effort. All HDR does for this shot is give it the strange halo effect.
