Description
An HDR shot of a mountain rainstorm as it crosses the BC/AB border. The mountain is Beehive Mountain, and was probably 6 or 7 km away but I was already being splashed with rain drops flung from it. The mountain is directly on the BC/AB border, and is surrounded by a little old growth spruce/fir forest in Beehive Natural Area.+W

Wonderful landscape, it's nice to see one of these idyllic landscape with normal weather.

I agree with ErinM31, this would be better with the use of the rule of thirds. Particularly since it's not purposefully centered anyway.

I took another shot of this with the rule of thirds, and liked this one better. I like the centered mountain. Anyway it doesn't matter that much as all the RAW files from this trip were stolen and I no longer have them.

Very nice capture. The mountain looks really majestic, and adds good contrast to this photo overall. I especially like the clouds in this though.

A lot of nice contrast in this picture. My favorite part is the right side of the composition. The clouds look great and the light rays on the far mountain are especially pleasing.

Very nice landscape, but I do feel that the slope looks somewhat dark on this monitor. I like the composition. Well done

Hi;
Thanks, I agree completely and I would remake the HDR of this in a second except that all of the photos from this particular trip were on a laptop that was stolen last May. So this photo is regrettably gone with the wind and I no longer have any high resolution copies of it.
If you have a minute, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me how the exposures of my latest trip, the yukon, look on your monitor:

Thanks a lot!

People who say it's a small world are wrong.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Do you think the slope of the mountain is too dark? It's an HDR of three shots from RAW, so I have a lot of control over how exposed each segment is, and it can be hard to know whether what looks good on my screen also does on yours.
Thanks again for commenting!

Nah, it looks good.
Im normally not a fan of HDR, mainly because it's normally over-exaggerated. Thanks for keeping it natural looking, and not over-processed.

Always. I have lots of HDR shots in my gallery, and not a one is exaggerated or anything but subtle. Thanks for noticing, few people seem to appreciate a natural photo nowadays and the old 'sliders to 90%!' school seems to really attract viewers and faves...

It might be because it looks surreal, or something. To me it just looks overdone.
I'm a purist, but in my own terms.
The camera doesn't always capture what I saw, because it's just a tool and not free-thinking. It's my job, through processing, to bring out exactly what I saw, and what I felt when experiencing whatever it was that I saw.
I feel like highly manipulated photos should be more of 'digital art' and not photography.

I agree, though I am starting to get more into blending unrelated photos together to create abstracts, which is a new area for me as I've usually been quite conventionally minded. It started when I saw this photo: [link] and it completely blew me away. It's a blend of two completely unrelated images and it's not overdone or cheap, it's just stunning. I'd like to make a work like that someday.

Wow, that was amazing.
