Or I could entitle this image making an HDR image from a single RAW image. As my comment for the image title indicates, there were really two things on my mind with this image. The first was just composing this image, using some of the ridges and valley to kind of funnel the view to that one mountain peak of the Eldorado Massif off in the distance. I felt funneling the view best highlighted the setting with the clouds seemingly surrounding and hugging the mountainside. The second part was the large dynamic range when capturing this image and metering it properly with the highlighted areas in the clouds caught in the morning sunlight and the more shadowed in midtone areas across the mountainside off in the distance as well as the valley below. As initially processed the image the RAW image, I was kind of disappointed in trying to bring out the dynamic range captured. It was then I remembered how Aurora HDR Pro could use one single RAW image and bring out an HDR one that I could then export as a TIFF image. I then finished the final processing in Capture NX2
While walking the switchback coming up the Navajo Loop from the Wall Street area in Bryce Canyon National Park. The view is looking down and to the south. My thought on composing this image was to capture a look down with the towering walls stretching upward beyond the image border. There would be some foreground to create more of a layered approach also. And I did keep a few people who were walking up the trail to give a sense of perspective for the size of the setting.

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.

While walking the High Peaks Trail with a view looking to the south-southwest in Pinnacles National Park. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of the hiking trail to my front as a leading line into the image. I felt the hillside and the way it's sloped with the trees also added to that look ahead. The rest of my thought with this image was lining up the slope and trees with the more distant mountains, as well as metering the image to not below any highlights with the large dynamic range as this portion was on the western side of the national park, and the sun was shining mainly on the eastern part.
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 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
The tree is a pitch pine (Pinus rigida).
From Wikipedia:
Franklin Parker Preserve is an 11,379 acre natural preserve located in the Pine Barrens in Chatsworth, New Jersey. The preserve links Brendan Byrne, Wharton, and Penn State Forests. Franklin Parker Preserve is owned and managed by New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
Geography is typical of the Pine Barrens with sandy roads, pitch pines, cedar swamps, blueberry fields and tributaries of the Wading River. The 53 mile Batona Trail runs through parts of the preserve and the preserve provides habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species including bobcats, bald eagles, barred owls, northern pine snakes and pine barrens tree frogs. The area also serves as a filter for rainwater that makes its way into the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer.
Franklin Parker Preserve was a former cranberry farm that was once the third largest cranberry producer in the US. The farm was owned by Garfield DeMarco, an influential Burlington County Republican Chairman. He frequently opposed many of the pineland's preservation regulations but he decided to sell the land at a significant discount versus the lands estimated value in order to preserve it. The land was purchased by New Jersey Conservation Foundation in 2003 after they were able to raise the funds for preservation. After securing additional adjacent tracts of land from private owners in 2015 and 2016 the total acreage of the preserve is now 11,379. The preserve is named after Franklin E. Parker III, the first chairman of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.

A view looking to the west across the canyon and gorge with blue skies above at the Cedar Point overlook in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This was definitely a difficult image to capture as I was looking almost directly at the sun from this view with the canyon below. I not only had to work to minimize any sunlight falling across the lands, but I also had to expose it such that I could void blowing any highlights and still pulling out the more shadowed areas later. 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 3 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
