Michael's 69/365

I received my yearly bonus last week. So... new camera, of course. Now if only it didn't take so long for batteries to charge.

Slightly out of focus. Really shallow depth of field. But I think it's interesting.

Canon T2i, f/22, set correct exposure, then bracketed +1 +2 -1 -2, then processed HDR in Photomatix.

An experiment in editing. The first shot is the RAW file straight out of the camera. (SOOC) The second is that same file tweaked with PSE 9's RAW file editor. And the third picture is the RAW file bracketed two exposure stops in each direction, and then run through the tone mapping in Photomatix. Which one do you like the best?

My first attempt at 'faking' HDR Photography in PSE 9. I'd like to progress to doing it for real, but that costs money. So I shall experiment with creating the effect with layers and filters.

(Added) I downloaded a trial version of Photomatix, a software program for HDR processing, and this is the result of the above photo.

I just went with the default settings. So I'm sure I could get a better result if I played around a bit. But it's dinner time.

Tried to take pictures of the moon, but couldn't make it work, so I drew a smiley face with an LED Flashlight instead.
