Tonight the clouds were setting up for a beautiful sunset. I came home from work with just a few minutes to get down to Utah Lake. As luck would have it I got stuck behind a train crossing that was not working. I quickly made a detour and made it just as the sun sank behind the mountains.

This photo is located at the mouth of the Provo River. The sunset turned out to be a dud so after processing I decided to edit it using Snap Art. For this photo I adjusted my tripod so that the camera was inches above the ice and took a three frame seven exposure panoramic. The photo had some interesting aspects to it even though there was not a lot of color. The dead reeds on the right, the log on the ice, and the reeds on the left all give the photo character. I like how this one turned out with the plugin. So next time you have a nice looking photo that has dull color try to use one of the great plugins that are available.

Good news! After posting yesterday’s blog I submitted it to HDR Spotting located at:

This morning I received a pleasant surprise as it had been posted on the feature page and on the editors choice page. Please take a few minutes and take a look at this new web site. It is full of great HDR photos from many talented photographers.
