Mountain Storm

Another great shot. I like the color you are getting.

Please give any comments you like. I am working on getting better

exposures and color saturation. This was taken 70% underexposed. I

believe it enhanced the pink in the trees. Thanks

Beautiful! Great contrast of colors. Just curious how you acheived it...

Greg and Naranda: Bracketing my exposure. I have been reviewing all the highly rated photos on this site along with a few others. I realized one of the differences between theirs and mine is exposure/contrast/color. This past weekend I decided to do a little self-assignment and try bracketing my exposures. I am shooting between 3 and 5 shots per view. Once they are developed, I can tell which one I like best. This shot is between .5 and 1 stop underexposed. It brought out the blue and definition in the clouds and the pink in the trees. The waterfall shot I have in this folder, is between .5 and 1 stop over exposed. That gave better definition in the dark woods and made the water very white. I am going to the Smokeys this weekend. Hopefully I will have some more good luck. However, it is suppose to rain.
