We are doing a project for one of my classes – “The Dark Side” – taking photographs similar in tone to Film Noir. After unsuccessfully attempting to photograph my cats using direct flash (they were uncooperative) I decided to use a series on doors from my One Old Farm Project. This particular image caught my eye – it has a really freaky look to it. This is an HDR composed of five images, converted to black and white. For some reason it has a really dirty, ugly and scary look to it, I’m not sure why. I’m new to HDR, I’ve only been working with PhotomatrixPro for about a week, although it’s easier than I thought. However, the results for any series of exposures is unpredictable – some come out great, some are really weird and some just don’t work at all. However, you will be seeing a lot more HDR in Rustic Road’s from now on! I really like it when it works!!

Hi, I enjoy looking at your work and how you work at a project. I’ve been working at developing my skills for about 5 years now. Always learning. I like looking at other peoples work. I learn a great deal just looking at their techniques applied to what they want to show. In the last year or so, I used the HDR (High Dynamic Range) process. I use PaintShop Pro 13 as an editing software. Very easy for the novice. Again, I really enjoy you work, you do a great job of showing things that are missed by so many.
