Love the mood of the panoramic.<br /><br />At one point in my San Francisco life, I worked in Sausalito and had to leave my beloved city every single day for a drive across the Golden Gate toward the worst job of my life. The upside? I would put my little sports car in neutral and cruise silently down the back hills of Sausalito and catch deer dining on the hillsides in the fog. Fabulous. Thanks for bringing that nice memory back.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850825844277186930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-91728993888116019722009-06-25T08:02:31.876-05:002009-06-25T08:02:31.876-05:00Very cool.

That'd be much more interesting..."<br /><br />We ran into the same hairy conditions in the afternoon, and the kids were terrified.<br /><br />She'll be sticking to the Interstate.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-10797322583918175882009-06-23T13:19:01.947-05:002009-06-23T13:19:01.947-05:00All of that technical crap aside, I like it becaus...All of that technical crap aside, I like it because it's the best one yet that I've taken that shows the "blue" in Blue Ridge...<br /><br />You'll often see the purple in "purple mountains majesty" here too, but it's really hard to have it come across in photos.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-36511614240716031412009-06-23T13:17:04.051-05:002009-06-23T13:17:04.051-05:00Thanks, bob.
That's not the way it came out ...Thanks, bob. <br /><br />That's not the way it came out of the camera, that's after some post-processing to simulate High Dynamic Range photography. HDR is a software program/process that takes three separate exposures—an over-exposed shot to show detail in the shadows, a properly exposed shot, and an under-exposed shot to show details in the highlights (such as the sky) to create one photograph.<br /><br />Normally a camera chooses to properly expose one area at the expense of another. To show the shadows, the sky blows out to white, or to show the details in the clouds, the foreground is too dark...<br /><br />In the old days, film would capture a wide range and a good person in the darkroom (think Ansel Adams) could reveal it in the final print by over- and under-exposing (burning and dodging) different areas when making the print.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-68818083642503174452009-06-23T12:51:24.635-05:002009-06-23T12:51:24.635-05:00The bear is cool and all, but that last shot is aw...The bear is cool and all, but that last shot is awesome.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-3060177695556402292009-06-23T07:49:28.709-05:002009-06-23T07:49:28.709-05:00What a fun Father's Day story!
