Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 18: Newspaper Rock National Historic Site.
While on the way to Arches National Park I stopped at Newspaper Rock National Historic Site. Over the years there has been some graffiti added, but the original Petroglyphs are still amazing. Images taken with a Nikon D200 camera and 18-70 mm kit lens. The original jpg images have been reprocessed with Topaz JPG to Raw and Capture One Pro.

Red Canyon Petroglyphs. HDR Examples (HDR Express, Photomatix Pro, NIK HDR Efex, Photoshop CS5 HDR). A year ago, I attended the Eastern Sierra Photography Workshop led by Michael Mariant. I knew I was going to be late traveling from work in South San Francisco. Michael gave me the GPS coordinates to meet at the Red Canyon Petroglyphs. The following is an image of the petroglypths processed with Capture One Pro, Topaz, Nik Color Efex Pro, and Photoshop CS5. This is followed by a series comparing different HDR programs (HDR , Photomatix Pro, Nik HDR Efex Pro, Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro)
Let me know which if any HDR images you like or don’t like.
