Deer Point

[AlanLichty]

Last week I posted a B&W shot from Deer Point along the southern Oregon coastline since I wasn't certain I could really get much color from the scene given the low sun angle. This is a slightly wider zoom frame from the same location I took a few moments before the B&W capture. I was captivated at how the coastal mist added layers of silhouettes of the trees topping the various sea stacks as you look farther down the coastline.

I have owned a lot of DSLR camera bodies that did not have the dynamic range to make this scene work in a single exposure and have been pleasantly surprised at what the current generation of sensors can do with such a wide range of available light.

The view south from Deer Point along the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor, Oregon.

C&C always welcome.

This came out really nice Alan. You are right, the newer cameras have a lot of DR and the newer software has better ways to bring it out.

If that's a single shot, then that's really awesome the dynamic range!

Thanks - this was a single shot and imported into PS from Lightroom as a single layer. I have made a single capture into multiple layers in the past using different exposure values on a RAW file so I could cover a wider dynamic range in the final image but LR was able to cover the entire range in this image in one pass. With earlier camera bodies I would not expect to be able to resolve the greens of the hanging moss from the foreground tree branches.
