A Walk on the Wild Side - January 2011

We went to Dartmoor for a walk to try to get rid of the post Christmas weight gain. To be fair, I didn't partake of the walking too much, spending my time taking photographs from a safe distance :-)

I have also been practising with images to produce HDR (high dynamic range) images. This process uses clever software to take the highlights and shadow detail from three images of the same view that have been given different exposures and then combines the best bits of all three into one image. It takes a bit of fiddling to get it looking decent and it usually has a sort of fantasy world look to it but some images do become much more dynamic as a result.
