Mighty Mountain & more

[ArtByQJ]

Here's a shot from my visit to Rocky Mountain National Park in April. My first time west of the Mississippi. I enjoyed it there. I posted about 20 more photos on my blog! Would like some tips on how to deal with bright sunlight some of the photos looked washed out. Auto correct helped but I am thinking probably need to shoot with a filter

Also any thoughts on how to enhance the horse picture?!?!?

see the rest of them here artbyqj.com

Enjoy

Nice Scenic composition.

As for dealing with high contrast conditions, you can go a couple of ways. I always carry a graduated ND filter to deal with bright, sunny skies. Most of the time these days, I opt for HDR Imaging, using the default image that Photomatrix Pro creates as a TIFF file. Then I edit the file with Nikon Capture NX 2.3. My goal is always to create the most realistic HDR image I can.

From a subject standpoint, and not a techincal view, it really captures the Rockies. There is so much more in the Rocky Mountains than just mountain peaks. Your image captures a more diverse representation than just focusing on the mountains.
