I was very excited to use my new ND400 filter while we were on our camping trip. I decided the Yellowstone River was a fun spot to try it out! I love being able to take a long exposure in the middle of the day.
Thank you all so much for your comments and support of yesterdays shot. I am in the process of editing photos from our trip and hope to get more posted soon. I sure appreciate your amazing comments and I feel so happy to be getting back to doing what I love to do!
Amazing job! I am leaving for Yellowstone in less than a week so am super inspired. How many shots do you bracket when you do HDR? (If you don't mind sharing!)
@archaeofrog Thank you Katie! It was an amazing trip and I hope you have a wonderful time! I usually take between 3-7. Mostly I use three, but I do try to take 5-7 every once in a while if I feel I need to due to lighting.
@mwarren365 Thank you Mike! I do love the ND filter! On this shot, I only used the one exposure and used the Nik HDR software along with Color Efex Pro for some editing. I did take other exposures of the same shot, but decided not to combine the three with the longer exposure. Thanks for asking!
@mwarren365 I still use Photomatix too. I have been going back and forth between the two. Sometimes I just like the effect I get better with Photomatix, but I know Nik just came out with HDR 2 software and it may be worth looking into,
Very cool...I really need a ND filter, haven't gotten around to ordering one yet. Interesting you use Nik software for your HDR editing. I also use it, but never get the same richness.
