In the past few years there has been alot of talk about HDR (high dynamic range) photography.
To be honest, I didn’t like much of what I saw, lots of over saturated,
cartoony looking stuff that just did not float my boat.
I also started seeing some cool stuff from FB friends / photographers that got my attention,
Randy Jay Braun, Shayla Middleton, Matt Kurvin, Lance Kinney and others.
I had tried using PhotoShop, but was not impress with my results.
I decided to give Photomatix a try and became an instant fan.
HDR is the processing of multiple exposures of the same subject,
blending those images using the correctly exposed parts of each image,
allowing for a much more detailed image.
The blend of images can be anywhere from photographic to surreal,
depending on the photographer / artists desire.
I am hooked :)
While I still take and use photo journalistic technics in much of my photography,
I am having fun with this process and hope you like it too!

This shot was in deep shade and would not look good normally.
