I received this stunning photograph from Al Peery today for the Breathe project. Al took the picture in Kanawha State Forest and provided this description - "This shot was 3 separate images bracketed at 3 different exposure settings, then blended using a program called Photomatix Pro that creates HDR (high digital range) images. Pulls shadow detail from the high exposures and highlight detail from low exposures."

Thanks to Al for his visual contribution to my "hey, want to participate in Breathe?" program. I described Breathe and how you can participate in my Dec 27, 2008 blog post. If you have images you'd like to submit, drop me an email, contact me at one of my social network outposts, or comment on this blog.
