Lips wanted to turn one of my HDR pics into a poster for his room. I prepared the file and posted it online. The pic is "Pontaccio Crew 09". For those interested, here is the link.

Lego Camera

I just received my new digital blue lego Camera© which can be purchased for around $75. Obviously this camera lacks professionalism but makes a great toy and is a fun option for those quasi-cheap and over exposed low quality style snap shots. I know you want one too...

Here are some examples from my roof top and apartment, NY with model Jaz

HDR photography

I spent a good part of the summer behind the viewfinder. The technique I used most is HDR photography.

"In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight." - Wikipedia

HDR portrait photography is challenging because the subject has to be dead still during the exposures (in this case 3). Total exposure time can range from 5 seconds to 15 seconds and up depending on the amount of lighting.

To display the images in a full resizeable window I've given up some control over the presentation. Depending on your window size, some pictures will crop making the framing questionable at times. Oh well, win some; lose some.

As usual, image loading time varies on connection speed. Patience please.

Please report bugs by emailing me. You can do that by clicking on my name in the slide show.
