The winner for the Photomatix Pro Bundle contest has been chosen! Using a purely random number generator based on atmospheric noise (yes, I am a total geek) a random number was generated and aligned with my list of names of those who entered the contest and those that twittered about it as well. The winner [...]
I realized that I haven’t updated my Photomatix Pro software in a while so I went over to HDRSoft’s website to see what the latest version was. I found that I was many versions out of date… and one of the updates that I had missed has some major upgrades in it! As of today, [...]
A few days go I posted about my trip to the Morikami Japanese Gardens. While I was there I shot quite a few exposure sets that I merged into HDR images and processed this evening. All of these images were generated from 9 exposures using Photomatix Pro for the HDR merge and tone mapping. Photoshop [...]
One of the topics discussed a lot when comparing HDR software applications is the merge algorithms. Everyone has a different opinion on which application merges the exposures better. In order to provide better information on which is best, I took four of the prominent HDR applications and merged a few different exposure sets that I [...]
I have been getting a lot of questions lately from people wanting to get started in HDR so I decided to write up my very own FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) post to help out. I am not going to call this the Complete HDR FAQ or anything of that sort since I am sure there [...]
Last weekend I woke up early to go out and shoot the sunrise from the beach. I was hoping to get out there early and catch some shots like Twilight that I shot last year. Well, I didn’t wake up that early and when I did get out to the beach the cloud cover was [...]
Have you ever taken a photo of a scene and liked one super-tiny peice of it but hated the rest? That was the case with one of the HDR’s I have been working on lately. I really liked the tire and hated the whole truck and the background… so along comes the crop tool and [...]
I few weeks back I posted about my desire to create the holy grail of image file management work flows. You can read the original post HERE. With Adobe Lightroom 2.0 insane features for image file management, we would be dumb to not figure out the best way to use them. After making that post [...]
Earlier today I realized that I hadn’t looked at the sunrise photos I took last week. I was on my way to meet some work friends for our weekly round before work and noticed the sun breaking the horizon over the river.
This weekend I had an opportunity to go to St. Petersburg Florida to attend a two day martial arts seminar instructed by Bill “Superfoot” Wallace with my karate instructor and some other black belts in the studio. It was an amazing weekend and it is going to take at least a week or two to [...]
If you haven’t been watching the news lately then you might not know about the huge outbreak of brush fires in Brevard County recently. Most of the fires were in Palm Bay and over 20 miles south of where I live. There was one fire less than two miles from my house that closed down [...]
Transfered From Old Blog (origitnal post date April 6th, 2008)
