This is a gallery of test shots using my new camera. There were some challenging lighting situations, and the camera handled them very well.

These are some HDR experiments from yesterday’s walk. I screwed up when taking these because I left the camera in program exposure mode; The aperture was not constant between the 3 exposures. If I had been in aperture priority mode, the depth of field would have been more consistent. I’ll get it right the next time. The first version was done using tone mapping, and the second one was made using exposure blending. Which do you prefer?

This one is a bit smaller, but i think it came out well.

I faked an HDR image of this scene by creatively using photoshop layers, masks, and filters. I plan on experimenting further with real HDR images in the future.

There is an odd mix of photos in this group. There are photos of Brooke, our new niece, and her older sister, Lauren. There are pictures that I took in my new light box. There are pictures of flowers that I took outside. The last three pictures are HDR (high dynamic range) images.
