Day 99: Time to Drift Away

Today is the last day in double digits for this blog. I really can’t believe that I have gone 99 days in a row taking at least one picture. Anyone who knows me knows that I took many pictures on multiple days so far. Today on my way home I saw this great scene just in between where I live and work. I parked off of the road, and decided to hike the half block to where I took the picture. I thought the hike would be easy, but I guess I didn’t factor the snow in for some reason. It was not easy to trek around in my work shoes, but I made do. I took a series of six pictures like I normally do, and in the viewfinder realized that I did not have enough from the underexposed spectrum. I went out today to get a picture of a drift because in the past they never looked good enough. I wanted to give HDR a try because the snow and sky would not have to be blown out to make the other objects look good. With that in mind I took a series of nine pictures to stitch together. I like how it turned out, although I think it could have been better. I have learned a lot in the first 99 days of this endeavor, and I look forward to learning even more in the coming months.
