hdr photography

I’m inlove and obsessed. :) I’m still learning what all it takes to create the images, how they have to be shot, how you can make due with current pictures for a different effect…. It’s very cool. Here’s a taste of playing around with it on day 1.

So these are rough samples, so they’re not great quality, but it gives you an idea of what can be done. These levels though are all artificial, so they’re not as mind-blowing as they could be. That comes next. :)

The road is totally my favorite. :)

fanbolt befriends google news.

So it’s official. FanBolt is an acknowledged news source. I received the email from Google informing me that within the next few weeks, FanBolt entertainment news will be filtered into Google News until my inventory is regularly crawled by them for inclusion. This is just freaking incredible, and I look forward to seeing the traffic that will bring to the site.

So I’m finally taking my first photography class. I made Nic and Andy drive around the city looking for good places to take photos that would work for the assignments, Here’s two of my faves:

I think the one of Andy is my favorite, I just love the composition on it as well as the different textures. But the coloring in the Highland sign pic is quite beautiful as well.
