Iao Valley

I wish I could say I was already shooting HDR back in February when I took the photo used for this image, but no. Instead, I tried a little multi-RAW processing to increase some of the range from the mountain ranges and the sky, and then kicked it up a notch with Topaz Adjust to bring it home for the final result you see here.

For me, it was good that I learned about Topaz Adjust right around the same time I recently started trying out HDR. That, and a little intro to multi-RAW processing techniques have given me many great opportunities to go back to the shots I wished were HDR and still give them the good treatment.

A stream in the Iao Valley flows over rocks as it has for centuries.
