Eye Candy

you might have been expecting pictures of women , but I'd probably get in trouble, so here are some pictures of a man's best friends



It's been a while since I have been on, but I have been experimenting with HDR and getting some really cool pictures that I wanted to share. Not everyone likes looking at pictures of trucks... I figure ya'll might

First of May Colorado Surprise snow storm. It was 60 an hour before that


New and Old


Sunrise in Taylor Valley, on the way to go Fishin'!


Diamond Plated Sunrise


Colorado Summer Green


Puttin' her in the water



Just figured you might like em, not really sure why else I am posting this... Enjoy

I do not know what HDR is but those are some of the best pics I have seen in a long time.Very graphic and the colors are amazing.If you could do that with a watercolor or oil it would be priceless.
Great job,I would like to learn more about that or send you some of my pics to play with.

Thanks!

so its called High Dynamic range. Basically what you are doing is taking 3 pictures on different exposure settings (-2, 0, +2). Then you use software called photomatix to combine them. Then I save that picture and adjust the contrast and brightness using Google Picasa.

I choose to make mine a little more exaggerated using a preset, when you do just a basica HDR, the colors or more realistic, but still vibrant. I think its the closes thing to our eye that a camera can create.

One thing i noticed is if you are inside and take a picture of somebody with a window behind them, it will just be light coming through the window, when you do it in HDR, you will be able to see outside of the window.

I'd be glad to play with some of your pictures, but you have one in the EXACT same spot in the three different exposures. If they move even a little, you will get ghosting and blurriness.
