For the first photo on my blog, I chose one of my favorites. This is one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. The sun colored the sky and clouds, there were Volcanic islands in the distance, palm trees near shore, and huge boulders that seemed out of place for a Caribbean island.
This photo was taken at the top of the Baths. The Baths are granite boulders on the island of Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands. The boulders were most likely placed from volcanic activity.
In order to capture what my eyes could see, I had to expose the foreground (below the horizon) different from the sky. I used the in camera HDR mode.
HDR is high dynamic range. The camera automatically takes 3 shots in a row at different exposures. The alternative is to set bracketing on your camera, which would give you more control over the exposure levels of each different shot, but then you need to merge the shots together using software.
