Never heard of HDR? I thought you had some street cred as photography guy. Spiriva just knocked your butt off the Photography pedestal. You are suspect now...Spiriva is the Photography master.

Sure is surrealistic! 👍 Do you plan on trying this HDR technique with people and pet pictures, too? I wonder how those would turn out...
Yes!!! I was just thinking about that today! Definitely want to try it with people...and animals. The detail probably looks crazy! Just have to get them to sit still.
And I want to see how it turns out with fireworks this weekend! That'll be my next shoot. 😀
Only for glamour and nude photography! Ha!
Pshhh..you're a guy though...that's a totally unfair advantage for that genre!!
bull****...I am the superior photographer on this forum because I am smart enough to buy a Nikon!
Until you posted these pictures, I had never heard of HDR. (I guessed it stood for High Definition Resolution ... or High Depth Resolution... until I looked it up here http://www.hdrsoft.com/videos/videos.php?vid=W1 and discovered it stands for High Dynamic Range) Tone mapping, exposure blending, wow so many things to experiment with! Ought to be a blast working with your upcoming fireworks photos- have fun! 😀
How do you intend to bracket such a fleeting subject? Or do you massage the exposure bracketing with RAW?
Yep! Exactly! That's the program I used too! 🙂
Honestly, I'm not sure how I'll do it. Almost everything I learn about photography is just done by experimenting...so we'll see if it works. 😛 Not sure if something so variable and dynamic really works with HDR, but there's only one way to find out!
Otherwise I'll just stick to plain old standard processing (like these shots I got last year). Think this time I'm going to find a different angle of the fireworks (haven't really decided where though yet). And hopefully the smoke won't be blowing in my direction again!
Fireworks are lame. Just drive a few blocks West of Hopkins into the ghetto and get some pictures of some dude getting shot. THEN do that little imaging trick.
Only if you come with. Though I wouldn't recommend walking around pointing at your hat.
What's your weekend sched look like in the next month or two? You can show me around West, By God...I'll shoot, and you can show the SDN world where you're from.

Blood and firearm glint are stunning in HDR.
I work next weekend. After that i think im cool for a while. I think I might take a vacation eventually...we'll see.
LMAO...we need to get my trailer/tauruses and do that trick. Hahahaha.
A'ight. I'm out of town the 3rd & 4th weekend of July for work. Maybe Aug 1st weekend?
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. I'll get back at you when they release our schedules.
Yup...no prob, let me know.
It's still far out and I'm not sure what'll be going on, but I make my own work schedule...and no weekends. So just tell me what works best for you! Jeez, we'll almost be reaching football season by then! Woohooo
Wanna go to a WVU game?
Did you buy the HDR program?
Wear non-WVU attire at your own risk. Though, as previously suggested, if you only wore the Tebow jersey, they would prolly let it slide...
not yet...I haven't needed the lens in a while...but I need to get on that
Yeah, thanks Cject.
Because it's impossible to be friends with a married couple. Thought I could even recall having lunch and hanging out with married friends on their honeymoon.

Cav's gettin jealous. He thinks I'm stealin' his woman.
Okay...I dropped it off today. The motor for the auto focus broke some how...

wow...for once in your life!
Nikon D40X, Sony Alpha or a canon EOS XS
Acadia as in Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mt? I was just on the other side of the harbor 2 weeks ago...what a beautiful place! 👍
Pick you up a used Canon 40D... then get you a Canon Nifty Fifty... 50mm f1.8...or a kit lens.... as you can see from Echo's posts that his pride and joy lens breaks... Nikon.
What's the weird, cheap Aldi grocery/ Ford Taurus version of DSLR? I don't want the same thing y'all got.

Man...there's usually a handful of used 40Ds for sale in my area Craigslist...and usually at a good price. Because you can expect a shutter life of 100,000 actuations, you can expect a long lasting body with 40D. My 3.5 year old 20D has 13,000 actuations and the 5D still has less than 5000 actuations.. At this rate, I'll have these 2 bodies...like forever.
We tracked through Calais and Machias...then to Portland.. Nice state this time of the year.
Get you a Canon 30D....none of us have it. It's slightly an upgraded version of my 20D and you can pick it up dirt cheap.
You wanting new or used?
That doesn't sound ghetto enough. I've heard of Cannon.
You could go Pentax. I don't think it's been brought up in here.
