Golden Reflection

This photo is actually the first HDR I have uploaded to the website. I usually like to use graduated neutral density filters, however they weren't really suitable for the mountainous landscapes of Nepal.

I was walking around the town of Lobuche looking for a something to place in the foreground against the sunset light hitting the peaks of Pumori and Kongma Tse, when I noticed a beautiful golden reflection in a small stream. To make this capture I used a neutral density filter to blur the water, and hand blended two exposures.
