yesterday's tomorrows and tomorrow's yesterdays
Photographically speaking, there are few things I covet more than a scene where I can get a reflection of a colurful sky on some object or body of water. Whether it's the roof of a car, a puddle, or calm shore waters, I am a big fan of reflections.
This was made from five handheld exposures. Next time I'm going to have my tripod with me. When the light is fading like this, you really need to be able to push your exposure times a bit, and that's not ideal without a tripod. For this kind of shooting I also cannot recommend strongly enough that you pick up a wired or wireless shutter release. I find that it makes a big difference, but if you have a soft touch and nerves of steel you might be able to get away without one. For normal humans....I picked up a third-party (i.e. non-Nikon) wired one at Amazon for pretty cheap :)
Even though the D800 has really good high-ISO performance, when you're shooting for HDR you should be doing everything you can to minimize noise, and for me that includes shooting at the lowest feasible ISO setting you can get away with.

Thank you for your visits and comments. Please feel free to add notes to any of my images.
I do a lot of HDR processing. All of my HDR photos can be found here.
