View from Big Badlands Overlook Not Long After Sunrise (HDR, Badlands National Park)
A setting and overlook I had to soak in after seeing an image from another photographer before heading out on a recent trip to the Dakotas. Given what I felt was a high dynamic range with the morning sunlight and the shadowed area across the badlands, I attempted to meter as best I could but still felt like I didn't quite capture what my eyes saw. I later decided to try something I'd only recently updated with Aurora HDR Pro. I made some initial adjustments and then exported a TIFF image for some final work in Capture NX2 with a few CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) for the final image.
