HDR

Update

As I finish up my final year at Columbia College Chicago I reflect over the years and wonder what my future will bring. And so, the endless search for a post-college job begins. I have no idea where I will go but I have to begin somewhere. I am happy to say that I've got some pretty exciting things happening in the upcoming months though! Another Kickstarter video, 2 music festivals, and a few weddings. All of which I'm sure I will post on here! So check back for more.  Below is an image from my recent trip to my lake house up in Michigan.

I went up to my lake house the other weekend and brought my camera along with me. Michigan is such a beautiful state! I love shooting images of nature and the outdoors. Here are a few of the images I took on the trip including one HDR image. Enjoy! 

HDR is Fun

I just recently got into HDR photography after years of not really understanding what it was exactly. After I had gotten my DSLR I would bring it around with me and take pictures of nature, landscapes, architecture and other things that piqued my interest. I never used to be too big on editing images other than just slight color or light issues. HDR really changed my outlook on photography. For those who don't know, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. It's where you take multiple images at different exposures using bracketing. After you've taken your pictures you can use a certain software such as HDR Efex Pro(What I use) which can be plugged directly into Photoshop and this is where you will combine the images you've taken. After this process is complete you can adjust the image to make it look the way you'd like it or add effects. It gives images a higher dynamic range of luminosities. Therefore, you can see the dark points, at exposure points, and over exposed vividly.  Below are some HDR images I have taken in the past.
