This shot was taken in Queenstown, New Zealand, a place not to miss for anyone traveling to our wonderful country. This was one of my first attempts at HDR photography and was actually shot handheld which I now know is a big risk when shooting HDR photography thanks to the humble Trey Ratcliff with all his great tips and tutorials on his travel blog, so thanks Trey. Also thank you to Viewbug for its vibrant community and everyone who took the time to comment or post recognition.

jaw dropping :D never knew HDR could be this amazing !!
Willsy (July 29, 2012)
Thank you Santosh! Yea unfortunately HDR's are often stereotyped as ghastly over saturated images with lots of ghosting due to large amounts of poorly executed HDR's being uploaded to so many websites. What really makes a good HDR is a bit of tender love and care in Photoshop, it makes all the difference.
