How can exposure, light and darks change the photographic message or story? Lights and darks along with color are kind of corner posts of my landscape photography. See that white cloud on the left…..

For some reason, while all the rest of the clouds were cranking on by, it sat still and I didn’t like where it was. So I moved up, down, left, right trying to get it in the place I would have preferred. But I never could get it where I wanted it behind the rocks on the left.

The reason I wanted it in a different place because of how I felt it would lead the eye around in the frame as well as bring a visual depth to the whole scene. Because in the end, rather then move, the winds just blew it apart and I ended up with nothing. I know I missed a couple of other cool shots by stacking out this one scene, but I do that at times, kinda of putting all my eggs in one landscape basket. And it was all based on simple lights and darks. Oh yeah, thesee are all 7 image HDR photos.
