playing with hdr

new lens + cs3 + county fair = time to play with high dynamic range stuff. so first: the original two photos. the top was metered for the shadows, the bottom, for the peaches in the sun.

then, the two get combined, and voila! high dynamic range. it’s my first attempt, so there are definite issues (like the woman who appears twice), but i think i’ll keep playing around with it.

i couldn’t take it anymore, so i dragged g off to my soul-restoring potomac hideaway. and took my camera. the views were beautiful, but rock textures were the order of the day.

then i found a new wp plugin and played with photoshop for awhile. relaxing.
