Photography Tips

This was a tricky shot. I hand-held this for a 5-exposure bracketed burst at f16 and nominal 1/60 sec but also at 1/15, 1/3, 1/125, and 1/250 with ISO 100. The camera was Canon 5D Mk IV with a 24-105 lens at 108mm which gave the compression looking into the trees. Careful to hide from the sun by the tree limbs.

Post-processing by selecting images from the bracketed shots, merging in Aurora HDR and finishing in Luminar 3.
