Photography: Fall in the Great Smokey Mtns.

Sunday, October 18, 2009, 6:47 PM [General]

I have been itching to get out and do some serious photography, especially hone up on HDR. So, I checked out a couple of web sites and found that the 12th thu 24 October would be the peak times for good color in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. I arrived in Gatlinburg, TN Sunday evening the 11th. Monday was cloudy turning to rain around noon, Tuesday,wonderful mostly sunny, and Wednesday rain until about one. It rained bucket fulls Thursday as I headed down the mountians toward Birmingham.

The first six are HDR. Hope you enjoy! I did.

Photography: High Denisty Ranging (HDR)

Friday, August 14, 2009, 8:52 PM [General]

Yesterday, I posted a comment on akphotography (Mike) about his HDR shots of Juneau Water Falls. I stated that I was currently trying out the free download and trial of HDR. I also made a stupid statement that I hadn't been anywhere to take some scenic shots. Right ,duh, I live on the Gulf Coast! So, today out I went to the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which includes Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island.

You can go to Photomatix and down load a free trial with a tutorial, its free as long as you want, but notice the water marks in my photos. Try it and if you want it click on the icon only $99.00
