What is the F number for this shot. because I am told that for a good starburst pattern as seen here, one has to choose a smaller aperture.

Amazing eye and capability of capturing a very special moment in the nature…and not to mention great post processing skills … and for the end I must add: as usual :) ))

Great shot! I check back almost every day here and it seems HDR is becoming more and more popular. I assume by the tonal range here that it’s an HDR image?

It’ll be interesting how ‘accepted’ HDR becomes in the mainstream community. The goal I guess is to make the composition look as real as possible, but not overly surreal or unreal.

Thanks a bunch, it indeed is an HDR, Anurag all 5 exposures are shot at F22,
cheers and have a great summer folks,

wow! that is spectacular. the forest, sun, rays, mountains and the sky really add up to the sensation of this photo. God’s creation is incredibly beautiful. Most people don’t appreciate the beauty that is out there or don’t even realize what beauty nature beholds. superb photo. well done Dean!

Great image, what software do you use to merge your HDR shots?

21st June 2007 at 7:06 pm

I use Photomatix Matt. I also use NIK filters, and I dodge and burn as needed,
Cheers
