Landscape photography in an extreme HDR (high dynamic range) situation, capturing images from beneath a waterfall ledge on a bright sunny day. I show how to fix this situation, having too much difference between darks and lights, and capture an even image using manual bracketing. 

I had an amazing hike (or should I say climb?) on this day trying to reach the bottom of Devil's Punchbowl Falls in Stoney Creek, Ontario. The path was "unmarked" which meant there really wasn't one, and I really challenged myself to overcome! It was worth every second. Photography is awesome and we all need challenges in our lives. Our lives are already challenging but the ones we volunteer for bring satisfaction, joy, and great feelings of accomplishment.
