Digital Nature Photography
False Kiva is an ancient Puebloan ruin found in Canyonlands National Park. Since the ruins lie underneath a vast rock alcove, the light is much dimmer in the foreground than in the distant background. Instead of shooting an HDR series of exposures to cover the dynamic range, Barbara used the Shadow/Highlight tool in Photoshop CS6 to subdue the high contrast. Nikon D4S, Nikon 14–24mm f/2.8 lens at 14mm, ISO 100, f/18, 1/80 sec, Cloudy WB, manual exposure mode and AF-C on the back-button control.
