Thought I’d have these posted sooner, but I was tinkering with this photo to try out HDR. (It’s the first of my HDR attempts that I liked.)

HDR of hill by Mt. Rushmore

Right next to Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills. (I decided not to get George’s head in the shot - would have been just to the left of the hill here.) I was going for a photomatix dark sky effect in Photoshop. Hoping to get the technique into an action.

On to the photos…
