Photography is not my hobby or profession, it’s my sweet illness. Each day I hold my camera it becomes a creative journey. I become immersed in what I’m doing as I experiment and play.
I'm very please to report that my book on HDR photography is number one in photography books in the US, according to Nielsen BookScan. Thank you all so much for the support. May all your images capture the FULL range of light.

I try to visit the HDR Group as often as possible. Otherwise, for HDR questions, or to share some of your images for feedback or just to say hello drop me a note here:

Patrick Henson says:
"I've been doing HDR, sort of, for 3 or 4 years now. When I discovered this photostream, I was just blown away. One of the best HDR artists on Flickr, without a doubt. Subject matter and composition are what sets Ferrell apart, as well as his ability to balance his HDR. Keep up the great work, my new friend!"

"In 2007 I did a search for HDR images and was quite fascinated with the results I'd seen. Some of the images were by Ferrell and I checked out his photostream and profile. I loved what he did with Photomatix and followed a link he provided to pruchase my copy and start my HDR adventure. I appreciate all the work he has done and the book he has published that is quite extensive in HDR technique with at least 3 different programs. Thanks again Ferrell for sharing your passion with us."
