Chico’s Day after breakfast

Chico Naping

Chico wakes us up around 7:30am, rushes outside to do his business, leaps around begging for food, and then runs upstairs and gets back into the bed.  He stays here for most of the day, despite my working out of my home.

The Empress Hotel in HDR

Again I’m still working on my technique of post processing HDR photos.  I snapped this one from across the inner harbour in Victoria.  I like how this one turned out in the larger version, although the smaller version looks a bit gray.  Still working on it..

HDR - Parliament Building

I’m still working on my technique with HDR, but I’m definitely liking the results more.  This one has some noise and could use with a bit of sharpening.  While I’m focused mostly on the technique, I am stealing ideas… to give credit for this one, you can see my example here.  Click on the image to see the larger version.

Pandora’s Church of Scientology

Yesterday evening I spent a while reading Trey Ratcliff’s HDR Tutorial.  I’ve been viewing his photos for quite some time, and other HDR photos (search on Flickr for HDR, you’ll see TONS!).  Anyways, I wanted to give it a go,  This morning I ventured downtown Victoria in hopes to get some images to manipulate, then spent a good 2 hours this morning learning beginning of the process.  This image isn’t completely finished (per Trey’s guidelines) but I have more learning to do, and wanted to post what I have done this far.  I’m pretty happy with this image as is, although it could stand for a bit of noise cancellation, and Flickr won’t take my whole 21megapixel image, so I need better re-sizing software (which I’m working on).  But it’s a start! I hope to improve and do more HDR photography in the future.  The images usually end up breath-taking, just see Trey’s blog to watch a professional at work.

Feeding the Hair

This little girl’s hair is crazy awesome.  Taking a break to eat a sandwich, she posed for this photo.
