DROID

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 13:26:30 -0500

I HAD TO POST THIS!! Mike Appel, the programmer for this event is experimenting with HDR ( High Dynamic Range) Photography.
 The process is quite simple, its multiple exposures of the same scene and then put into a processor and tweaked. The tweaking part is really where your skill comes in because the process at first shot does some not intended over exposing etc..

I definitely see a future for Mike in doing some photographic work.

See large photo below.
