Hey Mike, that's nice images...can you give me the details on where this area is, especially the viewing platform? I have a feeling it's around the edge of Algonquin territory.

...seems just soft enough it would attract criticism if it was presented as best IQ from a lens. Those that are least affected seem slightly over sharpened.

Also, my mind still has an unsettling feeling that the dynamic range just isn't what I expect in a photo - whether it's realistic to the eye or not - although a lighter touch can sometimes produce impressive dynamic range.

Some really nice pictures have been presented in HDR-style, but am I the only one imagining the 'King has a transparent new suit' or do others agree there's a subtle alignment issue yet to be resolved with this technique?

The in-camera HDRs are excellent and very natural looking. Great set of photos!

Very nice series! I like them all but the "hand held" from Part 3 is my fave right now! I like the energy of the river and the surroundings. Thanks for showing!

That is a beautiful series of series Mike, my favourites atr hard to pick but I would have to rate all of part equal and the in camera HDRs are also stunning.

MightyMike · Oct 8, 2009

Thanks Dean, the in camera HDR does seem to do an ok job but of course i edit them to bring back some contrast in the midtones

Nice color!

The HDR pics seem a little flat to my eye.

Roberts_J · Oct 8, 2009

Some very nice colors, but why is this bag in the first picture (on right side)?!

Great shots. I love the lonely leaf, and your final shot may become a classic. The two HDR shots aren't touching the same nerve, but I still like them.

Fantastic. I'm heading for upstate NY on the 20th, but I'm afraid by that time, the peak will be passed.
