New England, The HDR Edition
I spent the Columbus Day weekend traveling through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine with my parents. It was a classic leaf-peeping tour, proceeding counterclockwise from Boston to Killington, VT, to St. Johnsbury, VT, to Bethel, ME, via lots of back roads and scenic byways. The weather was overcast and drizzly on Friday and part of Saturday, but the clouds started to break up Saturday afternoon, and Sunday and Monday were quite nice.
I was not upset about the general cloudiness, because I wanted to do some more high dynamic range (HDR) photography during the trip, and in my (limited) experience, clouds actually make HDR photos far more dramatic.
I took hundreds of shots and so far I’ve processed just over a dozen of them as tonemapped HDR images. I’m assembling the whole set of HDR photos over at Flickr, but below are a few of the more interesting ones.
