I could make the sun shine from pure desire (Bryce Canyon National Park)
While at Sunset Point but taking in a Sunday morning sunrise in Bryce Canyon National Park. The view is looking t o the east-northeast as the sun started lighting up low clouds near the horizon over the plateau of Powell Point. Given what I perceived as a large dynamic range between the bright area around the sun and the hoodoos still in shadows over Bryce Amphitheater, I used the in-camera HDR setting on a TIFF image with my Nikon D850 SLR camera. My thought on composing this image was to angle my camera slightly downward and create more of a sweeping view across the hoodoos leading up to the horizon and sunrise. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. I chose to initially work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported another TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
The image caption is from a Steve Winwood song, The Higher Love, and seemed so appropriate as I looked across the hoodoos to the horizon with the sun rising over Bryce Canyon National Park.
