If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
Nathaniel's dream is to get closer to God and to make sure his mom is happy.
Nathaniel is currently four years old and carrying wood with his two sisters down a dusty cart-road in an unmarked Amish village somewhere between Allegheny and Tionesta, Pennsylvania. In pauses between talking to me, he looks sideways at his older sisters, who peacefully nod towards him. I tell him that he looks big and strong and then I help him carry the wood to his parents' home, where he lives with his other nine brothers and sisters.

This is such an awesome, my brother is actually there right now, he had a business trip to NJ and drove to the Amish Town and took his Nikon D90 so I'm hoping to see some greats.

how did you get to photograph them? The Amish don't allow photos taken and certainly not of their children. Did you get special permission with this family?
