Fallen Empires – Halcyon

Donut Falls, Utah

by Krishna on Sep.13, 2008, under photography

So here goes, my first semi-successful attempt at HDR photography. I took this picture while on a hike with my brother near Salt Lake City, UT. The falls are called Donut falls. There is a cave at the top of the falls that loops around the water like a donut. I’ll see if I can clean up one of my other pics and post them later.

The following HDR is from the bottom of the falls. Handheld 1/200 sec at ISO 400 auto-bracketed [+1/0/-1] and put together with a cool free HDR program I found qtpfsgui.

    So how dark was the foreground in that picture? It looks like it was just shaded.

    Yah, It was just shade but it was dark enough that if I wanted the sky to be blue, the ground would be too dark and vice-versa.

    The biggest thing I could improve about this shot is probably the stability of the picture. Standing in the middle of a freezing creek is kinda hard :p

    LOL, I found this page form a google search for donuts, looking for recipes for different stuff for my donut maker. Nothing here it seems!
