Gallery: SkySpirit (31 images)

This gallery represents my photographic work completed during the late summer and autumn of 2008. The emphasis on all of these images is a dramatic sky, particularly at and following sunset. Autumn is the best season for these types of landscape photographs. The locations include scenic areas close to my home in Dayton, Ohio; the Hocking Hills of Southeastern Ohio; Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee; and finally, the Carolina Lowcountry of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Nearly all of these images were captured on a Canon 1D Mark III pro digital camera and Canon L-grade lenses. Each is also a High Dynamic Range photograph - a combination of merged images of the same scene at different exposure levels, with a tonal adjustment tool applied to bring-out details and colors not normally captured with a single exposure.
