Montana Car Graveyard

Hi Everyone,

I was in Montana earlier this year and came across a pickyard with a lot of interesting vehicles.  This is the first time I’ve experimented with HDR processing, which enhances the dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of the photo.  Compared to the human eye, a camera can only capture a limited range of intensity in a photo, which is why many photos look dull compared to how you remembered the scene.  It works by merging three photographs, each with a different exposure level.

Some photographers aren’t huge fans of HDR because it can be overdone and make very artificial looking photographs.  I kept the effect mild and it did a great job of bringing out all the details in the cars and surroundings that would’ve been lost otherwise.  Enjoy.
