Well, since I started Daily HDR in June, my plans for the site haven’t quite come to fruition. As I’ve realized how busy I’ve become with other projects this summer, I just haven’t had the time to post a photo on a daily basis. One of the things I’ve come to realize about HDR (and photography in general) is how time consuming it can be to create something that is really worth publishing.
That said, the “daily” aspect of Daily HDR will be on a temporary hiatus while I finish up some other project that are actually helping me to make a living. I still plan to post a few photos a week, and soon start with the guides and blog posts, but I just can’t commit to doing something everyday at this point. Thanks for following along, and continue to check back for cool (albeit slightly fewer and far between) updates!
Thanks!

Well as usual I haven’t been so good at the whole daily part of “Daily HDR”. However, its all for good reason. I’ve been out doing stuff as opposed to just sitting at my computer and writing about it. On Saturday I went up to Eagle Creek Trail for a nice hike in the Columbia River Gorge. The eight mile hike took us through gorgeous ravines and past half a dozen beautiful waterfalls.
This is a photo of Skooknichuck falls and is a three bracket shot at +2, 0, -2 shot with a D5000 and Nikon 18-105 mm lens.

When we first arrived in Bali, the first thing we did was walk down one of the main streets in Ubud and take in our surroundings. It was quite the place, with more quaint restaurants than you could ever imagine, mixed in with statues and features that were 100s of years old. This is a 5 image HDR shot of some of the Balinese statues that we encountered on that walk.

On my last day in Bangkok I took a walk around my old neighborhood and photographed some of the stuff that I passed by everyday. It was a pretty surreal feeling to become so familiar to a place and know that I may never see it again. The neighborhood I lived in was called Victory Monument, and so here is a photo of the monument which was right down the street from where I lived.
I still need to pay more attention to color when composing these photographs. The sky turned out darker than it probably should be…
