Canyon Clarity

This is Keystone, Canyon near Valdez, Alaska; taken last winter.  With the direct sun on fresh snow and the other side of the canyon in deep shade, the contrast was too much for a single exposure.  This is a bracketed 3-shot HDR blend done all done by the camera in a little more than a second.  The fun part is that you can do it handheld!  The only down side is that you have to shoot in JPEG but it does such a good job it's worth it.  

The settings for the middle exposure are:  Sony a6000, SEL1670Z @ 16 mm, ISO-100, f/11.0, 1/640, hand held.
