Old mine structure near Leadville, Co.
I've been playing with Photomatix (software for creating HDR images) for awhile. This is one of my better attempts. There are a rather complicated and bewildering assortment of adjustments used to control the effect. I still learning which types of images and situations that I think work well with HDR and how best to process them.
This shot was made up of 3 images taken at -1, 0, and 1 EV. One interesting side effect is that the clouds are very soft due to the movement between shots. I find the sharpness of the building against the softness of the clouds rather pleasing.

Wow!
I love this shot. That software sounds interesting. I 'll have to look at it.
The colors in this are wonderful.
Wonderful HDR photo! I like how the sunlight graces the distant peaks as well.
Russ, I didn't understand any of what you did. But I love it. An excellent capture.
That's an absolutely awesome shot.

Marvelous image paired with a perfect title. You have my imagination off and running. Luv your SmugMug slideshow too. I've been meaning to explore that but haven't gotten around to it yet. Did I see a Yellow Lab as white as my Molly in this mix? Methinks so ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Excellent results. What a terrific scene even if you don't use any special effects...
It is very pleasing, nicely done.
Thanks everyone!
BTW - Photomatix has a free download that you can use to play with.
HRG - Lyra is my brother's family's lab. Quite the cutey, eh?
Fabulous shot! Everything is absolutely perfect. Since I always have difficulty getting the right exposure in my skies, I've started joining up shots individually exposed for the ground and sky - so thanks for mentioning the software!
Fantastic photo!
Very interesting works, glad you captured them to share with us!
