Liberty bell and Merced river, Yosemite National Park, Christmas 2011. Buy a print.
Tech data for the nerds: Nikon D300, Tokina 11-16mm at 11mm, f/5.6, 1/60s, ISO 200 handheld
Google+ post. Same image on flickr.
This was from a late afternoon hike with my daughter to Nevada Falls on Christmas day. The image was processed in Lightroom 4 beta which is able to extract amazing amounts of shadow detail from images such as this. Normally I would have used a grad neutral density filter here but this was just a grabshot at the moment. I also created a black and white version of this that I really like:

Same tech data as above.
its interesting how the sky changes blue density from the center to the outside of the image. Rather like polariser on wide angle does, but somehow different
ReplyDeleteI don't remember using a polarizer here, but the 1/60s at f5/6 makes me think there might have been one on the lens as that seems slow for the sunlit peak in the background. I was carrying one that day and used it earlier on a waterfall to tone down a reflection.
