Here is one of my favorite photos. I decided to take my daughter for a drive. She had been cooped up in the house for several days since her knee surgery. I took my camera along just in case it looked interesting. This photo was taken on the backside of Timpanogos Mountain. It is a two frame five exposure HDR. By the time we had arrived here it was quite dark. The exposures ranged from 1.6 seconds to 25 seconds. I was quite pleased with the results.

I called this one Sleeping Lady due to the Indian Legend (actually made up by a BYU professor for Family night activities). To make a long story short the male and female were in love. The female was to be sacrificed for the good of the tribe. Through there struggles on the mountain they demonstrated their love for one another in front of their god. Both ended up dying, and their god took great pity on this love story. Mt Timpanogos contains her heart in a cave (National Monument), and her silhouette forms the top of the mountain. Her hair is streaming down towards the great yellow part of this photo.

I like this photo for the colors. They work well together.
I like how the pink ice curves and meanders across the water towards the yellow sunset.
I like the reflections of the mountains on the water and the clouds on the water and ice.

This is the photo I will submit to HDR Spotting.
