I’ve experimented with High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography for a while now, but I finally have a good before and after example to share. HDR basically yields an image with a higher exposure range than a traditional image or even our eyes are capable of capturing. Here’s what it looks like—visit the site see them larger.
What you’re looking at is about six images at different exposures merged together. The result is better exposure and detail in the lightest-lights and darkest-darks of the image. Which one do you like better?

The weather was perfect for enjoying some hot air balloons today.
This was the only cloud in the sky, but it kept the sun from blinding us for the entire evening.

Just stuck in traffic with everyone fleeing the hurricane. Tried to leave before too much traffic.

It’s been a long two years of grocery shopping, but today we finally got to experience the Market Street United again, and while it was one of the busiest grocery stores I’ve been in, it was still great to be back in a United.

I found these on my computer from when we first got married. We saw this same scene several times around town. I guess if you don’t have a trailer, just load ‘em up.

We spent last night with my brother and his wife enjoying some Alfredo Pizza, Queso, and a little lighting experiment. I love what it did to the hair.

Just driving down the highway…
Here are a few shots from the race.
This first picture shows how dense the roads were. With over 30,000 runners, the roads really didn’t clear up the entire time.
Spent the weekend playing Monopoly with the family.
This is so much more fun than the old version—probably because you can spend money so much faster!
The lilies we received at the hospital are still blooming and look great.

Jesus Painting done in 10 minutes by my dad several years ago.
The original size is at least 5 x 8 feet.
Just enjoying my wife’s homemade strawberry cupcake.
It tastes as good as it looks!

In case you missed the Lunar Eclipse last night…
Taken in the freezing cold from right outside our front door.

My grandpa came across this picture in an old newspaper with me and my brothers at Floydada’s Pumpkin Day. I’m the one on my knees at the first bucket. I can still remember the sheer number of pumpkins - everywhere - and the largest pumpkin contest with small-sized-car pumpkins.

This is the lid to an old oak wine barrel from Portland, OR that my brother and I turned into a set of fine frames.

Our ice freezes up - seriously! Reverse-osmosis water, a normal freezer, and look what we get.

I can’t believe I don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to have my first glass of Egg Nog for the year. This is going to be a great Winter.
