My first attempt on HDR or simply known as High Dynamic Range. If you are interested but do not know where to begin, follow this link and you might pick up a tip or two.

For stater, I used a software call photomatix. It is available on a Mac or Windows version but I guess when comes to post processing Mac blows Windows away. But that is another story for another time. Once I converted the raw files(s) and did the tone mapping, a final touch up in Photoshop was needed ie. doing some softening to reduce the noise, curve, some dodge and burn, etc. I kinda like the final result and can’t help it but make a large 24×16 print.

In time I hope to share more tips here as I go along the learning process. Remember Art is never finished, only abandoned. You always learn new things and those photos taken a long time ago which did not interest you at first, might spring into a new life with the different post processing techniques you learn along the way.

This is my most favorite photo by far. Taken at Ginza Street, Tokyo. I was surprise that they actually closed to traffic on Sunday (which was the day I was happen to be there) so that pedestrian are free to walk in the middle of the road to do window shopping.

Hi, welcome to my photo blog where I post some off my favorites photos that I have taken over the years. If possible I will try my best to describe the photos I have taken, why I took it, what I see, and some technical information that I might want to share on that particular photos.
