Carcross Valley Winter Afternoon
One week last month when hoarfrost gilded the landscape and imparted a magnificent glow under the low winter sun, I photographed many compositions with multiple, widely bracketed exposures, intending to later merge exposures into HDR (high dynamic range) images. This is the product of one of those efforts. It was created from four exposures bracketed at 1.5 stop intervals. That allowed colour and detail to be brought out of the bright sky surrounding the sun, even while the forest is exposed satisfactorily.
