Winter's Stark Beauty

An overcast dreary day still has an appeal to my eye....the stark beauty of nature at rest seems to come through on this image.

 

A High Dynamic Range (HDR) image using three exposed frames set at different shutter speeds (at the same constant aperture) and shot in rapid fire sequence.... and then blended with Photomatix software.

 

I think this is MUCH better if viewed at the larger sizes. The reason the horizon is tilted is because I was using a rickety old fence as my makeshift "tripod".....

 

Here's the link to Photomatix if you'd like to give it a try yourself. They offer a free trial and I find the technique fascinating:
