Image Caption: 
This image was taken in Bryce Canyon, UT from Sunset Point. When you approach the canyon for the first time the scene takes your breath away. The variation in colors and textures is just beautiful. This image has a great contrast between the blue sky and the red and white limestone with a band of green trees in-between.
Lens: 
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED
Technique: 
For this shot I set my camera to Aperture Priority and used the bracketing feature to get my three exposures used in the HDR image. I used Photoshop to clean up some lens specks before I merged the exposures in HDR Expose. To edit the image I used the tools: Veiling Glare, Shadow/Highlight, Brightness/Contrast, White Balance, Saturation, and Resize.
