Looking Through a Portal of Mesa Arch to Views of Canyonlands National Park (HDR, Canyonlands National Park)
When I was composing this image, I found lining up the view not difficult as it was merely a matter of standing back and then zooming in to capture what I wanted and had seen in other images. Metering was another thing. The backside of Mesa Arch was more or less in the shadows of the early morning hours. The view beyond with Canyonlands National Park however was definitely caught in the light of the morning sun. I attempted to find a mean exposure that I could later work with. It was only later when I was doing post-production that I remembered I had Aurora HDR Pro and used that to bring out an image that seemingly had a larger exposed dynamic range. I was able to work with that and export a TIFF image I could later use in Capture NX2 for a final image.
