Enjoying the High Life While Walking Along the Condor Gulch Trail (HDR, Pinnacles National Park)

While walking the Condor Gulch Trail with a view looking east and then down and across a canyon between ridges in Pinnacles National Park. My thought on composing this image was more of a look back along the path I had just hiked but also a little bit of capturing the view with the nearby ridges the way they opened up with the canyon or draw below and then the more distant ridge. The other thing I had to keep in mind was that the sun was in the direction that I was facing and definitely affecting any exposures that I attempted to capture.

 

I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 6 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
