My first HDR images: Missouri Sunset

in nature •  6 years ago 


We drive past this place pretty often and I want to take pictures every time we go by!!! This evening, I actually had a camera in my hand and we were able to make a stop!

I don't get to spend much time with my "real" camera anymore, but it just so happened to be in my lap on the way home from a family weekend trip!

It's funny because I initially went to school for photography, and then @jasonrussell picked up my camera and he was just a natural! Now I just kind of hang around with him and help out with his photographic endeavors ;)

Now, he's teaching me how to do HDR composites!

These were taken at horribly high ISOs, but I've never done an HDR composite, and it was kind of fun to learn how to combine images tonight! When we stopped earlier, I snapped 3 in a row at different exposures, and tonight, Jason taught me how to condense them into one image!

This is just my first try at HDRs....with Jason's help....But it does actually look like this out here in the Ozarks!!! We truly live in a beautiful part of the world

Thank you! This is actually on the side of a busy interstate, but you’d never know it from looking at the photos ;)

Beautiful colors in the sky and a relaxing crescent of water to tie it all together. Love these :)

Thanks! We had some lucky timing since we were driving by right as the sun was setting :)

Husband's certainly do come in handy at times @melodyrussell It's great that you both share a love of photography and the final landscape image is stunning. It's been I while since I enjoyed your blogs and so while I am here I will take the opportunity to wish and your family a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.

It really is great to share a love of photography with my hubby! Nice to hear from you, Trudee! Hope you’re doing well :)

That is the ultimate.....to share creative interests with your spouse Melody. It is a great blessing for you both to have a talent in photography. I'm doing well. Thank you.....and looking forward to what the New Year has in store. I hope it's a special one for you and your family.
