Sculpture

I'm working through the exercises in a old book called 'The photographic eye'. The latest exercise is to take two pictures of the same subject using exposure bracketing. The exercise states that the two images should be presented side by side for critique.

At first had a lot of trouble understanding the point - wouldn't it just lead to one normal image and one badly exposed. However I realised this could be used the same way as HDR - to present images with more information than a normal exposure would allow. It also occurred to me that for subjects with enough contrast I could produce images with dramatically different subjects, just by bracketing.

    I LOVE this concept. These images are especially great because different areas are visible in each- like the bricks. Great work!

    Wow! Thanks for the hight praise! I guess this was a lesson in how working your way through exercises that may not initially make sense, can yield great insights and results.

    Wax on and wax off :-)
