Beautiful HDR in Three Easy Steps

HDR 101

I decided to document my HDR processing workflow and share it with everyone else. You can find the first installment by following this link HDR 101 or by click on the HDR 101 link on the right side of the window.

In this tutorial I discuss how I take my photos and what type of post processing I do on most of my photos.

It is so easy, anyone can do it!

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope folks will find it useful in their photographic adventures.

Today’s Image is from Reagan National Airport

I took this photo without tripod by placing camera on the rail and pointing it blind in the right direction. I’ was happy with result and didn’t have to take another shot.

It was a long day at work and really nothing comes to mind to say here tonight. I’m sure you felt this way too, once or twice in your life. So I just share this image and hope you enjoy it.

Swimming with Manatees

Short post today, we are on our way to swim with manatees. Cold front is coming down from the north and it is going to be cold. Not going to take any photos of it, just hope to see some and enjoy the experience.

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! We have the tree, your presents under it are imaginary.

I took this photo a few weeks ago at the Reagan National Airport (DCA). I think they have at least three of them there. This one is near C gates, where USAir flies from. DCA is probably one of the coolest airports in US, at least the ones that I have a chance to go through.

What other airports are photogenic?

Almost

About five minutes after taking this photo, I was on the other side of the monument walking back to the Lincoln memorial, I heard the familiar sound of helicopters. Everyone else heard it too and then we saw three helicopters approaching from the south towards the White House. Presidential helicopters. They approached quickly, passed over our heads and then one of them took to the left, another to the right, but one slowly descended at the lawn in front of the White House. Everyone was watching. Everyone was trying to get a glimpse of who is going to come out from it. Too far. From where we were you can’t see any detail all the way at the White House. Still, everyone was looking in the same direction. Some had cameras out trying to zoom in. Too far.

You know what I was thinking? – Damn, I wish I was still back at that spot where I was five minutes ago.
