*Paradise Road*
Location: Elk Grove California
Technique: HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Time Lapse
This was absolutely the hardest sequence of shots I have ever done,,,, Ever!
Loved the way the trees lined up along this dirt road except that they were originally only on the right side. Did my HDR sequence at about 6:30pm just for the trees. Then I shot a 1260 second exposure with an ND Cokin Gradual filter later at about 10pm in complete darkness with only the moon for light.
