I was looking through my files tonight and found this old one from South Dakota that I never posted to the blog. Spring and summer are a great time to be on the tallgrass prairie of Badlands National Park in South Dakota. On this particular morning, I was on my way to photograph prairie dogs when I was compelled to stop and take a few shots of the early morning landscape. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 200, f/18 at five shutter speeds
Hey Lawrie,
Yes, this was an HDR image. I use Photomatix, but then take the resulting image into Photoshop to add contrast back in, desaturate, etc. to make it look less like it was a typical HDR.

Perfection and oh so dreamy!!
Oh, what a lovely gift and memory this morning! It sends me back to a trip and an early morning wake up. Open the hotel door and aha. Thank you
Gorgeous mix of colours.
I gasped!
I see you used five shutter speeds Sean. Did you blend all the images in PhotoShop as in an HDR image?
