myday #30 - HDR Photography - I went to the Stirling Ranges
I don't think life gets much better!
Photographing mountains? I mean c'mon! Life is awesome right now!
I got to the Stirling Ranges knowing the exact location I wanted to set up my tripod - smack bang in the middle of the rural road!
I had previously visited the location to photograph the illusive Wedge Tailed Eagle, but with no luck and I thought this would make a great spot to take a stitched HDR photograph, showing the Stirling Ranges in all their beauty.
Photographed by me - The Stirling Ranges - Multiple Vertical HDR Image Stitch
I framed up the shot from left to right using my special Manfrotto 303SPH tripod head and began to take multiple exposures of each photo before panning the camera to take the next vertical position.
Then when post processing the images, I merged all the exposures together to create a HDR (High Dynamic Range) horizontal panorama. I couldn't be happier with the result!
Are you a photographer or a traveller like me?

Haha, yeah this road leads to heaven :)
Great shot! The mountains look like cardboard cutouts!
@kamalamacan they certainly do. I always love this type of light on distant mountains.
Wow. Beautiful pic man. Gotta love the colours that HDR brings out with the 3 different exposures. Love the pic! Will use your tag in my next post from the Namibian desert.
Awesome! Thanks for commenting and wanting to use that tag! I'm a huge fan of HDR. I'm going to be doing a tutorial on it for the community so stay tuned!

@fmd it is a nice place and these mountains certainly get a lot of visitors. I have climbed to the top 16 times. 5 of those times I ran up :)
This is so surreal. The road is leading right to the mountains.. nice framing :)
Thanks for commenting @gyanibilli :) I a huge fan of that road, except when my car hit two kangaroos on it! That was a bad day :(
Oops! That must have been so terrible.
Yes it was, I was off the road for 10 weeks :( Also didn't end well for the wildlife :(
