    Helmcken Falls

    This photo was taken in the summer in Wells Gray Park, B.C. and was one of my first HDR/multiple exposure shots of this kind. I think I did it with three shots into one. Anyway, how do you like the shot and do you have any suggestions for multiple exposure photos? I remembered to try the technique after regular shots were overexposing the waterfall and underexposing the tree to the right.
    It was taken with my D80 and 28-70mm lens (the widest angle lens I owned at the time...)

    Great shot, every color seems to pop in this picture.

    The tree on the right might be a little distracting, taking your eyes off of the waterfall. Maybe if you can, try to crop it out and see what the picture looks like then.

    BTW, beautiful area..

    You seem to have cut off the top of the tree on the right. That's only a nitpick though.

    Whilst I'm only starting to learn how to use HDR/ multiple exposure's, your photo seems quite good.

    Thanks for the comments. The colors are really quite natural in this photo, which I really like. I think cropping out the tree to the right would cut off too much of the photo. To get rid of it I would have only needed a different angle, but I didn't have time for that. I'm happy with how it turned out.
