I can't wait to get out of the city. I want to take HDR images of nature.

"Linear Chaos"

Aperture:f/7.1

I quite like the way this picture turned out; and I quite like June's theme=)

I'm back in business. Haven't had much inspiration lately to take pictures. Things just looked so bland and boring all of a sudden?

Must be the weather.

Pet
Swarthmore, PA

Shutter speed: 1/50
Aperture: f/22.0

I can't decide which one I like more - what do you guys think? I'm thinking the second one, but as June pointed out, the fact that they are both looking in the same direction in the first one is kind of cool....

Currently listening to: Cross My Mind, Jill Scott

"Flinders Street Station"
*HDR Image

I have yet to capture yesterday's theme. Hum! Anyway, this is my first attempt at HDR Imaging. It's pretty much combining the same picture with different exposures so you can get a complete product...as opposed to just using one exposure and risking over/under exposure.

There is some colour distortion in the bottom right. Blergh. I'll get better at this over the holidays!

Don't shoot me, June (for not abiding by the SOOC rule).=P
