HDR Pictures

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. A camera’s dynamic range is the minimum and maximum amount of light it can register at one time. HDR photos layer several pictures on top of each other to increase the dynamic range, resulting in vivid, high-definition images. HDR photos are perfect for ruins, lighthouses, mountain landscapes, sunrises, sunsets, and other subjects that demand to be seen in detail. All photos in our HDR gallery are available as stock photos or prints.

False Kiva Of Canyonlands National ParkHidden by a very steep and winding trail, this archeological site is well worth the effort it takes to find it. Located off the map in Canyonlands National Park in Utah, it is well protected and only available to those who seek it out. A prime example of ancient Puebloen ruins, this magical place located the middle of a sheer cliff face shows the heartiness of its ancient settlers. Although it appears to be a Kiva, researchers actually have found traces of the ancient peoples using it as a residence.

Peggys Point Light Of Nova ScotiaA blood red sunset illuminates the sky behind Peggy's Point Light. This sunset appears so vibrant due to the combination of perfect cloud cover and the reflective ocean surface. The water behind Peggy's Point Light reflects the red sun, and the clouds in the sky catch the light, giving this image its character. The color palette of the sky matches the red topper on Peggy's Point Light.

Located on the scenic Lighthouse Trail in Nova Scotia, Peggy's Point Light is a favorite tourist attraction for those visiting Halifax. Although only built in 1914, this lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in Canada. Here we witnessed a rare but spectacular sunset lighting up the entire sky behind the lighthouse.

Sailors Delight At Peggys CoveThere is an old saying "Red sky at night, sailor's delight, red sky in morning, sailor's warning." We had the delight of seeing this gorgeous red sunset over Peggy's Cove from shore, so we didn't have to worry about the veracity of the old rhyme.

Peggy's Point Light can be seen in the foreground of the photo. This iconic lighthouse helped guide sailors into Peggy's Cove for over 150 years.

Peggy's Cove is located on the Eastern coast of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia.

Rose Blanche Lighthouse Of NewfoundlandThis foggy lighthouse is the Rose Blanche Light in Canada. The Rose Blanche Lighthouse was built in 1873. Its age shows in its quaint construction. Some sailors and locals complained that the granite construction of the lighthouse caused it to bend into the fog, so the sides facing the ocean were painted with red and white stripes, which cannot be seen form this angle. The foggy lighthouse is somewhat hard to see though— it is understandable why the stripes had to be painted on.

Old Cabin With Mountains In The WindowOne of our favorite hikes in the central mountains of Colorado is the Mayflower Gulch Trail just north of Leadville, Colorado. Its a gentle climb that starts just off Highway 91 and winds about 2 miles back into the abandoned Old Boston Mine. At an altitude of almost 11,000 feet, the air is thin, but the views are spectacular. Here we are inside one of the old cabins and looking towards beautiful Fletcher mountain in the Tenmile Range of the White River National Forest.
