New York Waterfalls in HDR Photo Essay.
I did warn you about seeing more HDR images here. My recent Waterfall Safari gave me an opportunity to create some HDR images I decided to share with you as a Photo Essay. Click here or the title image above to see it. I hope you like it.

Your results are really fine, Scott. You’ve found a great solution for those sun-dappled woods-in-autumn shots. What a lovely walk you took us on.

You take us on a lot of your walks and am glad to return the favor, Gerry. 🙂 When faced with extreme ranges in light, HDR is a good solution.

Absolutely beautiful images. I’m curious about the polarizer filter that you used here, is this something that’s needed for outdoor photography? I’ve never used a filter before, and heard from a friend that I need one, but I’m not sure what kind or when to use it.

Thanks, Anna! Having seen yours and Preston’s landscapes over the past year, I had a good idea on how to approach these parks.

Great set of photos on your SmugMug account. I used to only shoot 3 exposures when my histogram indicated too much of a range was needed, now I find my self shooting 3 exposures every time I set my tripod up. Isn’t digital great! Put you in my BlogRoll under HDR work.

Yes, digital has some great advantages including auto bracketing and freedom from the cost of film and processing. Of course, the time it takes to edit and process all those digital images is the price. 🙂
Thanks for the comment and blogroll add, Mike!
