One-exposure HDR

I took this picture of an old barn yesterday but my second exposure for the HDR was way off so I made an HDR image with only one, underexposed photo. How did I do it? Since I was shooting in RAW mode, I made two copies of the photo when I processed it: one with a very high positive exposure adjustment. Then I merged them back into one photo in Photoshop. Kind of feels like cheating doesn't it?

I'm so sorry you're in Redlands.

I took all of these in Seattle over the weekend. The macro leaf shots are all at 1/500", f/2.8, ISO 200 using a 100mm lens.

Breaking the Law with Russians

Just did this shoot with a friend of a friend in the industrial district of Seattle. Thought you guys might enjoy it. It's getting cold up here so outdoor shoots are getting more and more difficult!

Summer Photos

The first couple were actually taken with my cell phone's camera. I thought the effects it gave them was better than the sharp quality of the my sony.







This one was taken with my roommates Cannon.


This was taken with the Sony



Lastly, these photos were also taken with the Sony and are of that somewhat unknown and misunderstood sport of airsoft. (If you would like to know more, just ask :) )
