Challenge: Free Study 2011-10 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Tugela Falls, Drakensberg, South Africa
Date: Oct 26, 2011
Aperture: f/22
ISO: 100
Shutter: various
Galleries: Landscape, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Oct 26, 2011

 Manually blended HDR shot taken at the top of the Tugela Falls, Drakensberg, South Africa. Taken on the same hike with RianBotes as my Day/Night shot which also scored very well.
RianBotes was right - you cant take bad photos up on top of the Drakensberg! Was actually taken with Rian's Canon 17-40 f/4 L but I didnt want to load it on my profile for just one shot. Thanks for the loan Rian!

Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments. Started well on a 7 and fell all week until the last day when it picked up again - I suspect that was due to the new categorising voting system a few people were trying. Still happy with this shot as it gives me lovely memories of a magical place!

Well, I've put my foot in it. Sorry Steve, I'll know better from now onwards. Didn't know anyone else than RianBotes was allowed onto the Berg.

My favorite landscape in this freestudy. Lovely moment captured. I love both the frost in the ground and how deeply you can look into the depths of this photograph

Nog 'n wenner Rian. Ek wil net weet, begin jy 3 uur in die oggend klim vir die sonsopkoms, of vang jy 'n helikopter na die Lodge na jy die sonsondergang afgeneem het?
