Burnt Pine (not Sienna) Sunset

I took these photos back on May 29 when a prescribed burn to attempt to limit the pine beetle spread occurred near Canmore. In the first image, I was able to capture the smoky orange glow at sunset on Nose Hill, with the reflection on a seasonal pond that will usually disappear by July. The camera was equipped with my wide-angle lens, and set on a tripod to record multiple exposures, which I used to create this pseudo HDR image and bring the trees out of total silhouette.











The second image also used multiple exposures up a Nose Hill coulee, but was hand held, so the HDR image is a little more "jittery", but I still like the effect.
