Here is another photo from hike I went on the other day. I took this with three exposures. Unfortunately there were no clouds in the sky to enhance the photo.

Today I went on a hike at Moore State Park in Paxton MA hoping to find some areas to capture. I found a few. Here is a bridge over the pond. If you look closely you will see a guy reading a book. This park is a great place to go and just get away from it all. You can find more information at www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/more.htm.

I was practicing my HDR skills. (High Dynamic Range) photography. I couldn’t decide which picture to post so I posted both. They are the same composition, however, one is a realistic view and the other is a cool looking vintage shot. Let me know what you like/dislike about each photo. Together we can make me an exceptional photographer!

Clouds are neat to photograph, because they’re like snowflakes. No two are alike, but are much easier to capture while they’re airborne.

Here is my first attempt at a High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo. This shot was done in 3 exposures and they were blended together with HDR Efex Pro. This allowed me to get the things up close and the sky all in focus which camera’s can’t do very easily. I plan on doing many more of these. Let me know what you think.

My wife showed her artistic ability and drew me a birthday theme on our chalkboard wall in the kitchen. I didn’t do any post processing except for cropping in fear of ruining her artwork. Thank you for the wonderful birthday honey!

Here is a nice looking orange flower. I tried to bring the color out with some post processing. This was shot on my brand new Nikon D7000. I’m still learning the features of this camera.

I am once again watching my calorie intake on a daily basis in an effort to drop a few more pounds. Of course I’m working out as well. However, It’s hard when I see these treats in the cabinet. While salivating over these cookies, I was also looking for something to photograph for this project. I arranged them, got a little chocolate on my fingers and needless to say, one of these bad boys was KIA. 70 calories of sweet goodness. Do you know the name of this cookie?

It appears that my wife went to Kohl’s again 😉 This is her favorite store. This sun flower was on our entertainment center, but I’m not sure how long it’s been there. 😉 That’s all good and it made for a good photo.

Wow, the title of this one has a lot of 4’s. Here is the last of the mini project. I hope you like it. Happy 4th Of July!

Here is photo number 4 of this mini project. Please let me know what you think.
