We had a very nice trip to the Andes in Argentina. The views were breathtaking. One of the challenges was the large dynamic range, especially in the afternoon, when shadows appeared.
At one point I was trying to get the wild flowers in front, the mountains in the back, and the high-contrast clouds. I shot 20 shots with different exposures and , but the dynamic range of the digital is not that wide.. I was able to "pull" one of the photos: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9855.jpg For the reference, here are the same clouds in another shot: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9842.jpg (you can see how dark the front side is). And this shot shows the mountains: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9860.jpg I was thinking about creating an HDR shot in Photoshop, and may yet try to do that, but at the time of shooting I didn't have a tripod, so I'll have to see how well different shots match each other. Does anybody have any tips on how to best shoot such shots with or without HDR in mind? (Other brutal comments are also appreciated, as always.)
