When I was out last with\u00a0Moose Peterson teaching at a workshop in Kauai HI, I did a lot of shooting specifically for\u00a0HDR. While I was very happy with what I was getting, in terms of HDR, I did want to make sure that I got some shots SOOC for myself. I can’t even begin to tell you how challenging the light conditions were to be able to achieve that.<\/p>\n

Take for example Waimea Canyon. Moose took us up there to chec the place out one day. While there were cool images that I did that were non HDR, I think that the image overall suffered from a lack of\u00a0magnitude<\/strong> . When you stand up there at the Canyon, its\u00a0immense<\/em> . Not only is it big, but it’s wide, and it goes out pretty far. To me, this meant that there was a lot of foreground that would come into play on the picture.<\/p>\n

With the way the sun was setting on the sky, this meant that about a third of the picture would be rendered in shadow if you tried to go with your gut and meter the middle. Try as I wanted to not to shoot HDR, this was one of those that I said “I’d rather come back with it than not”<\/p>\n

The shot series was 36 exposures. 9 shot brackets because of the bright day. When I take panos, I like rotating my camera to portrait mode by tipping it on its side (Vertical) . Doing the panos in this fashion give you a lot more\u00a0picture<\/em> when you merge, which makes it a little bit better instead of merging a series of images taken horizontally and cropping too much into out.<\/p>\n

Cool part about this is you get a really big shot, and you get a great range. From there, its about processing and you’re good to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"  When I was out last with\u00a0Moose Peterson teaching at a workshop in Kauai HI, I did a…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2103","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-photography","7":"cs-entry"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2103"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2105,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions\/2105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
