Palm Desert

I shot this image early one morning outside our time-share villa in Palm Desert, California, as the sun was coming up behind the camera.

Using a Canon 5D Mark II and an EF 17-40 mm f/4L USM wide angle zoom lens set at 28 mm, I shot four images at ISO 200 and f/16 with shutter speeds varying from 1/20 to 1/3 second.

To accomodate the high dynanmic range, I composited the four images manually, using CS4.
