This has to be my favorite HDR so far. I am starting to really get the hang of it (or so I think). We arrived to the top of this hill winded and exhilarated at the same time. We had managed to hike regardless of the weather and the gamble had worked out. The clouds cleared up for just a moment to grab this amazing snap shot of Montezuma.
Unfortunately this is all you’re going to really see of Montezuma, Costa Rica in regards to a post. Not only did it rain on us for 3 days straight but the waterfall turned into brown rapids with the trail washed out. Our entire trip there was a bust.
Well, maybe not a bust. I got this beauty.
Awe inspiring!!
@Ciki: Why thank you!
That is stunning! Nice work
@Jarmo: Thank you! I’m so incredibly happy with how it came out.
Beautiful picture! I would give my left thumb to be in Montezuma again now, such a fantastic little place.
@Hans: Thank you! It was an amazing little place. I just wished it didn’t rain so much while there.
Wow that is beautiful! I love clouds period but especially when you can see the rain coming down far away. Stunning.
@Debbie: The cloud blew my mind! We were lucky enough to get a break in the rainy season with just enough time to snap this picture!
I spent a month in Montezuma and would give my left testicle to have another month there!
@Joshy: I wish we weren’t there during low season. It was like a ghost town – but still really awesome.
Great photo, I can’t even do HDR : )
@Sarah: It requires software for sure but I would love to see what you could do.
bummer the rain messed up your trip
love the photo though, its “just right” I find a lot of people’s HDR photos are just so over processed its making me hate it. but this one it great
@Cailin: Thanks! I have already had issues with HDR, I can’t believe I hopped on that train.
Rain and storms can make for interesting photos, although it’s not so great to be out exploring with a camera in the rain
@Stephanie: It is why I curse and love rainy season at the same time. My camera is water “resistant” but I do walk around with my dry sack handy.
Amazing picture- especially the clouds!
@Erik: They just looked so epic, I couldn’t help myself.
Nice pic! I still have to try taking my first HDR shot
@Federico: Beware, they become addicting.
atleast you got something out of it
@Zablon: For sure! More than stinky clothes that don’t dry.
I want to learn how to do this. When you come to Vegas, teach me!!! Beautiful shot.
@D: Super easy. I’ll be glad to teach you!
So sorry about the weather! But that is a pretty pic… I love weather pictures, much more interesting than pretty day ones in the tropics I think… but ugh – then it’s time for the clouds to go away!
I can’t see the word Montezuma in any context without thinking of how he’s done his revenge on me this entire sailing voyage. (TMI?)
Your HDR is just getting better and better–gorgeous!
@C&C: Thanks! I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of it. Is it the seasickness or food causing your tummy woes!?
Montezuma is hardcore!!
@Abby: \m/ Rock on! But really, a gorgeous place.
It’s a shame about the weather but wow this shot is amazing!
@Lotus: Thank you! I was in shock and awe when we got to the view point.
