Itineraries in Exploring Yosemite National Park (HDR)
While walking along the banks of the Merced River not far from a bridge crossing around the Fern Spring area with a view looking to the southeast. My thinking in composing this image was to capture the view of the river with trees lining both sides and having distant peaks and ridges of the Central Yosemite Sierras as a backdrop. The rest of the story behind this image is metering properly to minimize blowing any highlights from the sun while using some of the nearby trees to help filter some of the bright sunlight. I chose to initially work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image, given the large dynamic range present. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
