High Dynamic Range

Or HDR as it's commonly known.

Anyway, this is my first attempt at blending/tone mapping differently exposed images (using Photomatix software). As you can see, the difference to a normal RAW conversion is huge.

Take yer shoes off and stand on that sheet

My dad called in today, to his regret.
"take yer shoes off and stand on that sheet"

Well I needed to try out my home studio (after too many months of building it up), and he was the Guinea pig.

Forced pose-I just needed to see a shot and take it from there.

As what's becoming frequent now, shot in RAW then cleaned up the creases in the background and gave it a general all round bright boom.

Start in the snow

Every blog start somewhere. Mine starts here.

Heavy snowfall from thursday evening prompted me taking the camera out and about on friday morning.

Over exposing shots (in RAW and processed after) ensured clean white snow.
