Men's Room

My photo buds and I made a visit to "Graffiti Paradise" today. We shot many bracketed series shots for the purpose of creating HDR's. I did shoot the shot seen here with multiple exposure settings, however since only the doorway was over exposed, I used old fashioned dodge / burn in Photoshop on one of the middle exposures. The HDR I created, though very similar, had much to much saturation in the doorway scene.

Longwood Tree

This morning I had another outing with my photobuds. It was a great day at Longwood Gardens. Here is an HDR image I shot and edited. And Betsy, this one is using 3 tone maps blended together. :)

Bridgehouse Revealed

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting at Hopewell Furnace with a couple of my favorite photobuds, Mary Brooks-Brown and Anita Bower. We had a wonderful time and I shot a number of bracketed shoots for High Dynamic Range processing. Here is one of them. It reveals the interior of the Bridgehouse and top of the chimney Tunnel Head.
