Some more from this past weekend up in the Sierras.  I turned my attention from the water for a bit to the great trees surrounding the stream.

The light range was getting pretty extreme even for the Split Grad to bring the range of light back down into the cameras range so I went a a quick blast of HDR to get the shot.  I added a bit of Tonal Contrast, and then a quick trip  into Silver Efex to finish it off.

This shot was taken before before the range of light went too far out of range using a .9 and .6 Split grad Neutral Density  filter  stacked I was able to bring the sky back in just enough for the shot.  Finished in Silver Efex Pro.
