Notes For this shot I took 18 shots at 3 exposures each. I mounted the camera in the portrait postition on the tripod so I could get the widest view in the panoramic. I used dynamic photo HDR to process the raws to HDR images then saved as tiffs. I imported the 18 tiffs into photoshop and stitched them together with photomerge. Sharpend a little and finished! total time 3 to 4 hours.

Sunrise View From ridge in the Guadalupe Mountains.
In the permian age Over 250 million years ago, what is now called the Guadalupe Mountains, Was once a reef. It is the only permian aged exposed reef the world. After millions of years of uplift and retracting ocean, the reef formed into mountanous peaks and valleys. This is a land full of Indian legends, awe inspiring valleys, and over a thousand caves including Carlsbad Caverns.

Thank you for the kind comments. I am having a hard time calibrating my monitor for brightness. Does this print in your opinion have the right amount of brightness to you?

This is truly a fantastic photo. The brightness is perfect; and, the commentary is most helpful in setting a context for the photo. This scene was made (years ago as you note) for HDR.

Good composition, light and colour rendition, & well-stitched. I am always relieved when I see an image which has not been hideously over-worked in HDR!

Awesome job! I think panos are the hardest to capture correctly. The lighting,prcessing and everythig else is just pristine!!

Nice work - and great location. I love the sky and only wish there were more exposure in the dark shadows of the mountains - just a bit.
