Tungku Beach HDR

I rarely do HDR images anymore considering one of the biggest reasons why I was so attracted to photography was because I remember seeing some really awesome HDR images on the net and thought "I want pictures like that too!!". HDR which stands for "High Dynamic Range" is a branch of digital photography that involves blending together 3 or more images with different exposures to get the full dynamic range of tones from shadows to highlights. My favourite piece of software to use to create HDR images has to be Photomatix from HDRsoft.

You can also use the "Merge to HDR" function found in CS2 and above but its a bit more involved and not as intuitive compared to Photomatix.

She sells sea-shells by the sea shore

Guess what happened next...

A day out at the beach is always a fun experience. The cool see breeze, sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, family and friends enjoying each other's company, bonding with nature...and let us not forget taking some awesome cool pictures. Take these two for example..for them bonding with nature was an "immersing" experience...Hehehe!

Okay...I said part 4 was gonna be the last of my beach/black n white/long exposure series. So I lied. It happens. People lie..! Anyways, I just thought I'd share this final picture before moving onto something new hopefully in the near future. I've got a couple of things lined up with Souljah soon so just keep posted. You can only look at pictures of rocks for so long.
