Just thought I would post a couple of pics I took today. I am experimenting with a couple of techniques I learned at the Photoshop seminar in Portland last week.
AEB is done on the camera, and it stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. It involves taking three (or more) identical photos with three different exposures (using a tripod!). Then, with a procedure called HDR (High Dynamic Range), the three pictures are merged together to get better detail in highlights and shadows. I played with the settings on the living room picture, so it is more of a photo-illustration.
Here is one from out in the yard…. and yes, it was sunny today!




Wow. You living room looks like a still life painting. Norman Rockwellish.
Thanks Ronita! (I WISH I could paint like that!)
