To the right is one of my first attempts at High-Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. It was easier than I expected so I would highly encourage other photography enthusiasts to give it a go. I set my alarm for 6:50AM because sunrise was supposed to be at around 6:57am. I woke up either by accident or because I received an email and my phone beeped. Either way, I just grabbed my camera and tripod and grabbed a couple dozen shots on this wooden walkway.
After the three exposures were HDRified, I made some minor edits using Photoshop like darkening the sky and upping the contrast and sharpness overall to give it a more dramatic look. I kind of wish there were more clouds in the sky, I think that would have looked spectacular.

Just a quick update on miscellaneous things since all I’ve been blogging about lately has only been relating to my fervor for Georgia Tech football.
- I want Canon to release the next full-frame digital SLR. The 50D looks nice but I want a full-frame now.
- Oh… GT opening game day tomorrow… I am psyched! GO TECH! STING ‘EM!
- Is it just me or is our Economy going down the drain. Everyone is all happy because gas is under $4.00 per gallon.
- I wanted to vote for Barack but the Democratic National Convention is making me doubt. Who’s manning Congress while all the democrats are working on speeches?
- The 2008 Olympics were awesome. Usain and Michael are inhuman.
- Don’t care if the Chinese gymnasts were underage, Nastia and Shawn still delivered against the wind.
- Chinese divers have the ability to control water so it doesn’t splash.
- South Korea is a baseball powerhouse.

I was just walking by on the dock, heading toward a ferry when I saw this little girl playing on the shore of a lake. I didn’t even bother to stop when I decided to compose a shot. I looked through the viewfinder of my camera and loved the scene enough to have stopped exactly half a second to press the shutter. I like how it turned out; the texture of the drying out shore is amazing. This was taken with a Canon 30D and a 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.
57mm 1/50s f/22 iso1000
