Sahara Sunrise with Camel

[jpphotography]

This photo is quite experimental: I disrespected the most basic rule of photography that says that unless you are aiming for silhouettes, you never take a photo against the light. However, I captured three images with different exposures and combined them into an HDR and with some post-processing, I was able to get this result!

Awesome HDR shot! Resteemed.

[jpphotography]

Amazing, thank you!

[intrepidphotos]

Love it. Such beautiful framing.

The rule you mention is archaic and before we had lenses with such amazing sun-stars and sensors which could capture extended dynamic range (even if over a few brackets) . Try doing it with Fuji Velvia and you will see why people used to think that way.

[jpphotography]

That is true! The dynamic-range of modern sensors is just incredible and computer processing even offers more opportunities such as HDRs.

[rebeccaontheroof]

What an amazing shot! Sometimes it's the best way to disrespect rules =)

[jpphotography]

Haha couldn't agree more!

[jumpmaster]

Yes man! The camels haha, so epic.

[jpphotography]

Let's see how much you like them after you have spent a few hours on their back!

[jumpmaster]

Haha touché. You need like a memory foam saddle when riding one of those

Thanks!

[travelling-two]

Well captured against the light! Just stunning and to get the light in between the camel's legs is more impressive 😊

✈️👫

[jpphotography]

Thanks :) I moved around quite a bit to find in the best position to capture this photo

[alevaskye]

Wow! Great composite work! Love that you have all the exposures. Way cooler than a silhouette.

[jpphotography]

Thanks! But camel silhouettes can be cool as well ;) https://steemit.com/goldenhourphotography/@jpphotography/camel-at-sunrise-in-sahara-morocco

[gabrielatravels]

I really love your work and shots but I do feel sorry for that camel.. 😔

[jpphotography]

Well, contrary to those two-legged amateurs known as humans, camels can actually stand on one leg less without any problems! :D

[gabrielatravels]

Hahaha, good one :D

[dawnsheree]

This camel looks stunning. I'm not too good with exposures and stuff but I know what's good or not. this is definitely one. ^^

[jpphotography]

Thank you for your nice words :)

[vtravels]

[jpphotography]
