Yosemite is one of the places I've been wanting to see but have yet to have the opportunity. One day. :) Thanks for sharing that great shot.
Yes, in this image I used 3 exposures one for the flow of the water and exposing for the foreground that was taken at 16mm f8 at
1 second exposure iso 50
Another was taken to expose for the sky since it was so bright. At f8 at 1/50 of a sec. iso 50
Then one more expose to capture the birds in flight. At f5.6 1/250 of a sec iso 800
I blend all these images in photoshop into a master image then work that with color correction and a normal work flow from there.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes layering is how I blend the photographs together. I use layer masks in photoshop. The creative side of photography wich I enjoy helps you push the limits of taking a photograph.
Our cameras are limited in the dynamic range they can capture. Also if you want to capture the motion of water and the birds overhead u need to use to complete opisite settings
With that said learning photoshop and how do do this effectively takes a lot of practice. Luckily there are endless amount of people sharing there knowledge online.
I like to keep my photographs real but surreal looking I want to capture what I feel when there. I only use photoshop to take my images further than the camera can.

Thanks again for the info. I use CyberLink PhotoDirector. It's very similar to LR and PS. I've tried my hand at layering and you're right, it takes practice practice and a bit more practice.
You should enter one of your shots for the new header image on the OB West Facebook page.
that would be cool I’ll check that out, thanks.Thanks again for the info. I use CyberLink PhotoDirector. It's very similar to LR and PS. I've tried my hand at layering and you're right, it takes practice practice and a bit more practice.

Hey I see you live Verdi. I fly fish the truckee river a lot. I’ve only been out to pyramid 1 time but hopefully can spend some more time out there this year. I usually fish from the hershire bridge down to Verdi.

I do at that... I see folk fishing all the time along the river at both ends of Verdi. Well not so much in the winter.

So @Chris M. , I tried my hand at a layered photo. Please Critique.I layered my Full eclipse pic on a Black Rock Desert shot (which I turned to B&W).
I really like this photo, I would say if I where editing this I’d try and pull a little more light out of the shadows in the mountains to show some more separation between the mountain top and the dark eclipse sky.
I’m super jealous as I was working and didn’t get to go out and get shot.
Great shot of such a cool astronomical event

Thanks.... I was thinking the same... I attempted it a before but it kept lightening the sky... so now I'll try a gradient filter on the rocks before layering. Maybe that will do the trick...
Beautiful pics. Not sure I would want to hear the story about how "Bloody Dick Road" got its name though lol
First two are the sun rising taken a few months ago, the last was taken last week of the sun setting. Enjoy!

ALERT: I'm sad to say that Snowy McFrosty didn't make home last night. He was found today in a drunken frozen state. The defrost unit has been called... His wife Chilly was heard saying; "Snowy said he didn't need no rig to go Overlanding. Just a good bottle of Irish whiskey.

Took this one with some new gear last weekend. I was out enjoying the sun in New London, CT.
