Fast Fact
A battleship is a large armored warship with a main battery consisting of heavy caliber guns. Battleships were larger, better armed and armored than cruisers and destroyers. As the largest armed ships in a fleet, battleships were used to attain command of the sea and represented the apex of a nation's naval power from the 19th century up until World War II. With the rise of air power and guided missiles, large guns were no longer deemed necessary to establish naval superiority, and as a result there are no battleships in active service today. [!] But this one in the Philippines especially in Mindanao do exist. Watta Pity. Crave for an upgrade :p

Fast Fact
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship; Each betrayal begins with trust. Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise, and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes.

HDR from 3 Exposures.
It's been a while since I last used Photomatix and I must say, they really did some good stuff in their latest version. Keep it up HDRsoft!
Bridalveil Creek is spring-fed, so it isn't as dependent on spring snowmelt as some of the other waterfalls in Yosemite Valley, but its flow can still get pretty meager in dry years.
I produced this new version in Adobe Lightroom 5 and HDRsoft's Photomatix 5 (HDR) software.
This is a HDR image merging of 7 exposures, starting at f/22, 15s and subsequent frames with +/-1EV increment. Processed in HDRSoft Photomatix Pro to convert 32bit hdr file to 16bit printable file (tone mapping) then edited in Photoshop for color & contrast.
For those who are not familiar with HDR, this is not from a single exposure shot but from 3 seperate exposures merged into one image.
I haven’t really got into HDR since coming to know about this technique recently but on this occasion I thought I’d dig up some of my old photos and play with it for a bit of fun.
Shot taken from behind a rock pool at Coogee beach on a sunrise and I was blessed with the awesome sky on this day.
Additional Info: HDR stands for "High Dynamic Range" and to achieve this, there is a technique where you can combine few differently exposed shots into one photo that allows you to extend the dynamic range far more than what single exposure shots can achieve.
So here, I took 3 differently exposed shots of -2, 0 +2 from the same place with my camera placed on the tripod and then combined it together using the trial version of photometrix software which can be found at www.hdrsoft.com/
The result can often end up being sureal but in my opinion sometimes photography can stretch beyond capturing the image as seen with our eye and made into something "different".
I hope it makes bit of sense :)

This sunrise image at Mono Lake was taken exactly ten minutes before my previous post. Actually, this image is the result of three exposures processed with HDRSofts Photomatix, and then selecting the Tone Compressor tab, not Details Enhancer.
My opinion is that HDR is another way to express a form of art. Most importantly, it is just a photographic tool, similar to any filter you may put on your lens, or other program used for post-processing. Personally, I use it simply as a tool to aid me in attaining an evenly exposed image, from front to back; however I can and have appreciated its various uses from many other photographers.
The previous image taken at Mono Lake was processed using Photoshop Camera Raw.

This is another multi-exposure blended high dynamic range image taken at Yellowstone National Park last summer. I again felt that the use of hdr imaging brought out the magical color of the actual scene better than a standard one exposure image could accomplish.
This was handheld and shot on autoexposure bracketing ... one shot at plus 2.0, one shot at minus 2.0 and one shot correctly exposed. They were all then blended together using Photomatix software.

This is a handheld multiple exposure image shot with a Nikon D70 set on continuous shooting mode. Using autoexposure bracketing, one frame was shot over exposed, one under exposed and one correctly exposed. I then used Photomatix software to blend the three images together to produce this final output.
This type of high dynamic range processing allows the nuances of color and light to be better captured than with a single frame. If you have not tried this technique, you can download a free trial of the Photomatix software at www.hdrsoft.com

A shot I almost missed. Driving the June Lake Loop I drove by this spot when I saw something that caught my eye. I backed up and grabbed the shot. Lightly processed using HDRsoft's Photmatix with three bracketed images.
Friday night, the fog was thick. So Saturday morning I woke up early to try to capture the fog at the Japanese Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden. If you haven't gotten out to the garden yet this year, you may want to soon. Many of the trees and flowers are already blooming. I don't know how they will be affected by the colder weather coming up, but if you don't go soon, you may miss out on spring.
Black and White HDR
How do you process your black and white HDR's? I think that Photomatix and HDR Efex Pro do a nice job of producing a good HDR image. But I still prefer to use Photomatix to get a color HDR image and then process that through Nik's Silver Efex Pro. I find that Photomatix does a great job of bringing out all of the textures and tones in the scene. But I really like the way you can Silver Efex to make changes based on the colors in the scene or just to apply some presets. How do you process black and white HDR's?
The tiny 12th century church of St. Oswald's is almost all that remains of the lost village of Widford, Oxfordshire. In the 14th century there were thirteen houses, a mill, a manor house and farm buildings but it is thought that the Black Death caused the settlement to be abandoned.
Previous photo shows the inside of the church.
The church was built over the remains of a Roman villa and still retains some Roman paving in the chancel. On the walls there are some interesting 14th century murals, while the high-backed pews date from the 18th century. The little church is so delightful that it has been used as a film set, most recently for the marriage of Lorna Doone in the TV series.
Notes compiled from the Oxfordshire Limited Edition web site.
This is an HDR image derived from three exposures combined using Photomatix software.
The lee side of this island in the Bras d'Or lake was calm, so the kelp and lichen were clear on the iron-tinged rock. Early morning light, Canon DSLR, Photomatix Pro, 3 exposures, warming and noise reduction in LR3.
HDR TIP:
Since this photo was made with a hand held, not tripod mounted camera, a fast shutter speed was key to prevent the 3 exposures from getting out of register. So, I ensured that the slowest shutter speed of the 3 was 1/250th of a second, and still there was a slight misalignment when the frames were combined in HDRsoft's Photomatix Pro.
COMPOSITION TIP:
The visual weight of the foreground is very important in a landscape. Here, it worked that the large rock at lower left was underwater, as it would have been too "weighty" if it were dry.

Does anyone find my borders annoying? Would you prefer it if there were no borders? Also, is this image too bright?
Again, at what seems to be my usual spot, practicing. This time on a clear night …. I seem to prefer clouds. I know I overcooked the colors a lot but when I decreased the contrast and de-saturated the colors I just didn’t care for it much. I’m going to try and tone down future images, or at least limit HDR, and / or try to make it hard to determine if HDR was even used. I’m just playing around and experimenting.
EDIT: This is a sunset. I should have mentioned it. Sorry.

This is a handheld multiple exposure blended image taken with a Nikon D70. One frame was over exposed, one underexposed and one at correct exposure and then they were blended with Photomatix software. This blending allows the final image to more closely approximate the actual color and light of the scene as seen by the human eye.
I know it seems a bit hard to believe, but the prairie grass along the track was really that distinctive color of orange. It caught my eye immediately and that's why I jumped out of the car for the shot. You can see the whole scene better at the larger sizes.
