Today’s picture features a magnificent sunset on Red Mountain after a rainy day in Phoenix, Arizona. Photographer Marcy Starnes did an exceptional job creating this gorgeous HDR image by blending three separate exposures.
The late evening sun really brought out the rich colors of the mountainside and the cacti in the foreground. Very nicely done Marcy!
Here are the camera and settings used to capture the three images at various shutter speeds:
Camera: Canon 40D
Lens: 24-105mm zoom
Focal length: 47mm
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 400
This is HDR as it should be, Marcy. Great detail in all areas and a very natural look. Great job!
You sure do a great job picking photos to display Rick!!
Very nice work Marcy!! I really do like your photo here. The dynamic range is awesome here and the detail incredible!
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Excellent HDR, Marcy. That is beautiful country out there!!
Gorgeous shot!!!!
Marcy, I love the composition in this shot. The two cacti “frame” the mountain perfectly and the colors are awesome.
Outstanding job all around on this one. Superb!!!!!!
Very nice shot you have here Ms. Starnes.
The desert southwest is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I love this shot Marcy!
This looks like my daughter’s back yard…
I love HDR. I know it’s a controversial topic. But I love it. I think it really captures the essence of a place. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz movie when it switched from black and white to color. That gasp, for me, is HDR. Great shot.
Beautiful scene Marcy. I love southwestern shots. And it’s so well done I wouldn’t have known HDR if it hadn’t been stated. Nice work.
This is one of the most beautiful shots I’ve seen lately–very nicely done, Marcy! The colors are so rich–your HDR processing was simply superb.
