Singing in the Wilderness

The Pleiades looking down over the California high desert…

@matigo Somewhere in the Stanislaus national forest.

Vacation wasn't nearly long enough.

@kdfrawg I just shoot an AE bracket and do the HDR processing in Lightroom.

@kdfrawg surprisingly enough!

@matigo really useful, that

Picked up a new chess set. It's a (used) Russian set from the 60's; I prefer wood sets and I love the Russian styling.

Quite happy with how this HDR photo turned out. Not a fan of the cartoony-HDR photos, but there were a lot of nuances with the lighting here that were hard to capture at a single exposure setting.
