High Dynamic Range - The Kodachrome of the digital age.

This image is a composite created on my computer by merging 7 digital images. Half were purposly under exposed, half over exposed and one, the base image (see above) `perfectly exposed`` by the camera.

By doing this my camera gets to capture a much larger exposure range than what it can in even at 12 mega pixels per image. Size is not everything. Dynamic range is what turns chicks on. :)

This is what I saw. On the left is the darker darks of the rock overhangs. On the right is sand inbetween the trees that reflects the same subtle rust color of the rock face. Where the sand comes from.
