Walking into the sun
Will you always keep me warm
Give me shelter from the wildest storm
When I'm glowing
Will you tend evergreen love without end

  10. Great tones coming across those succulents.

  11. thanks y’all!

    Lamo: I just emailed you the 3 exposures. None of them are any good on their own (given the insane exposure range of shooting into the sun, no one photo can do the scene justice =)

    Mingfong: Our cameras cannot capture in a single exposure the same range from bright to dark that our eyes can see. HDR details here.

  12. amazing HDR. i love this technique, it seems to really take you there, and in a way reverses the process of alienation that photographing can achieve.

  13. Hey this is a very nice photo.. well done!

  14. dancing colours.. really nice.

  15. I’ve selected this photo as a Landscape Picture of the day at Landscape Wallpapers Blog and the photo is automatically set as wallpaper for the people today. (The post is here.)
