A cool glacial scene like this helps on such a hot day. GOTTA SEE IT IN LARGE ON BLACK. Incredible depth, incredible detail...in the large version, seeing the boulders on the mountainside shade near the center where the glacier bends would not be possible w/o HDR.
I have not done a Chiller in a while, but it seems fate brought me this photo so I had to post it. My reasoning?...it was 104F here today, and the only hotter day that I have ever experienced was when I visited the summer palace pictured here. That day in June 2005 in Beijing was 108F with incredible throat-peeling, bird-strangling smog. However, I can assure you even with the thickest of Beijing smogs, the sky did not quite look like this (well, maybe it was closer than I initally thought).
I have a personal distate for this heavy a hand on the HDR...need to increase the light-smoothing to neutral and back off the strength setting. Hey, but maybe that's just me.
Stumble It!
