This is a location about 76 miles away from our home. Today was overcast, so I set the camera for aperture priority f/16 to see what I would get.

What you got was a good exposure. were you on a tripod? (ok did you have your camera on a tripod?)

You have so much dynamic range here you might can use curves or camera raw to create several photos from the original by brightening certain tones then do a HDR merge and see what happens.

Marian, do you have CS3?  I forgot if you do.  I believe you can adjust the levels for shadows, midtones and the highlights.  I would play around a touch to make it pop.  Maybe just a touch more contrast would do that.  I am not a landscape photographer though by any means, so I don't know what I am talking about.

It was handheld, but I took the advice from Mike and did it f/16. Smiley

OOooooo...I will have to try that this weekend. I've always wanted to give it a go. Would I change the Exposure in each one?

Hopefully our good weather will hold! The next few days are supposed to be in the 80's and sunny. Smiley

Good Logging shot, lack of trees in the distant hills.

Very nice!

Did you perchance take a shot lower down to get more sky in the shot?

Looks as though it was a fun day!

I did, but it made the clearcut area on the hill more of the focus. Tongue
