Sleeping in the Enchantments

Being in the wilderness is easy, all you have to do is survive!

The camera allows me to share my vision with the world in ways that the memory in my brain can not." ~Teri Lou

Once when I was in my photography booth at an Art Show, I observed a man quietly and intently look at each one of my photographs. After he was done he came up to me and said, "Thank you! I will never be able to travel to the places that you have but because of these photographs I have seen things I would not otherwise been able to." and he walked away. It was a life changing moment for me. I decided at that moment that whenever I had a chance to travel and explore I would always find a way to share the images with others.

iPhone 5 Pano vs ProHDR and AutoStitch?

iPhone capture - Sunset in the Enchantment Lakes, Washington State

Today's image from the Enchantments is a solid reminder to why I love my iPhone and iPad! The iPhone captured this image using the ProHDR app and then was stitched together with Autostitch. From Apple's announcement yesterday, I understand the the iPhone 5 will be able to auto capture panoramic images. The concept sounds great but I don't think it will replace my workflow of using HDR images to stitch together. Getting the lights dynamic range is very important for my final image.
Can you believe the mountain goat? No I didn't have to cut and paste him in! It was like he was standing right besides me appreciating the magnificence too! Oh how I wish I could bask in the glory of sunsets like this everyday.
The processing on my iPad was quite complex for this image. I wanted the moment to speak the volumes to others that it spoke to me at the time of capture. So I took my time and did a lot of masking and blending to direct the viewers eyes and keep them in the frame.
