Chalet in the hills
One of my most favorite destinations on earth is Sikkim, India. I spent a few days in this chalet around Christmas in 2003. From here, at the crack of dawn, I could see the rays of the rising sun fall on the face of Kanchenjungha, the third highest (and, in my view, the prettiest) peak in the world. This is what the sunrise looked like through the window.
And here are additional views of the peak.
This is a blended photo, made from two handheld shots at different exposures, at a time when I was not even aware of the concept of HDR! I simply made two exposures because it looked to me like the sky and the foreground were equally appealing and each needed its own exposure! It amazes me to think that I am able to use them together in this way. However, because I was not really careful about keeping the POV of the two shots identical, there is a bit of a blur in the blended image.
Technically, then, this is my first HDR shot.
