Day 54: Snow, Wood, Brick, and Metal in HDR

When I saw this combination tonight I knew that it would have to look good in HDR. In one shot you have so many textures that it had to be my shot tonight. I thought that this shot would get lost in the shuffle as the sunset looked like it would be great as the clouds sort of broke up at just the right time…almost. Of course they came right back in just before an awesome shot could happen. Tonight I just missed the sky lighting up. I guess shooting a picture everyday will allow me to see that sunset one of these days. In the end I fell back on this picture that I took early in my drive tonight. I love how HDR brings details to the forefront. With the absence of color after the leaves fell I have been shooting more HDR lately. I love how the first substantial snowfall is also visible in this shot. It was snowing all day, but as I got off of work it changed to rain. I managed to get out while the white was still on the ground before it changed to slush. On the way back home I found a great barn to shoot later, but with a shot in the can I was ready to get home. The barn will show up later on this blog.

Edit: For some reason the picture does not show up on my computer. I am not sure what is going on. I have inserted it multiple times with no change. I will check again tomorrow to see if anything changes. A photoblog is just not the same without the photo.

    1. I usually shoot -2, 0, +2. I shot five exposures the first couple of times manually changing the settings, but have since switched to three and letting the camera do the work. I find that I can reduce camera movement a lot easier that way, and I like the results so far. I have just started shooting HDR lately, but love how it turns out.
