Dreams and Ideas
"I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind."
- Emily Bronte, 1818-1848
British Novelist and Poet

This image from Codorus State Park (Pennsylvania) is an experiment in using a somewhat trendy photographic technique in a different context.
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging takes multiple photographs of the same scene with purposely varying exposures and combines them in order to achieve a final result with a range of luminance not possible with one exposure. While there are numerous uses, one current trend in digital photography gives an exaggerated, almost fantastical aura to scenes.
The image above uses the same technique and multiple exposures using an infrared filter. A texture layer was also added.
