Vision

Inspired by others who have taken some amazing HDR or High Dynamic Range Imaging photographs, I’ve decided to jump in and try my hand at this. Below are some photos I shot this morning. Comments and critical analysis are welcome.

Blogs and other social read/write media are great for staying in touch across the miles.  But don’t forget to interact with those closest to you, you know, the people you see every day, like your family and/or church group. This picture from a business e-newsletter I received today sparked these thoughts. So, now I’m going to go wish one of those amazing people in my life, my mom, a wonderful Mother’s Day, in person!

An encouraging bumper sticker I saw today.

I found this picture of an older gentleman taken during the 1890’s over on Virginia Tech’s image archive website. The person himself has no meaning to me, however I was just struck with “something” about this photograph. Full length portraiture is not as common nowadays. Our family has a similar looking image of my great-uncle as a young man. So stoic, quiet, peaceful and meditative. Maybe I’ll try to recreate something like this on my next portrait shoot.
