For the peoples interested in technical things :

This image was created from 3 exposures blended into one real HDR image with Picturenaut.
A first tonemapping was done also with Picturenaut and then the HDR file was also tonemapped with Photomatix.
The 2 tonemapped images were then blended to give the final result.

The most difficult thing is to wait for the wind to stop :)

No no. Don't wait for a lull in the wind - go with the flow! Embrace the funky blur, especially if you're going to do HDR on it afterwards as well. With enough ND filters to get the exposure time down, the universe looks static regardless ;)

Thank's Tim and i'm really just near to share your mind.

I went there a first time yesterday and didn't took care of the wind. The result was some ghosts in the highlited leaves and that was not as beautiful as a motion blur.

I returned this morning and took a Hoya ND 400 filter to take advantage of the blur. But even with this strong filter the highlights needed a too short exposure time to mix correctly with the other shots.

So i removed the filter and waited for the wind :)
