Laurel Hill HDRs

One of my New Year’s resolutions (along with the usual other ones) was to pull the camera out and shoot more pictures, as many as possible. Mostly because I want to improve my craft and because I simply love seeing what I can do with the camera lens.

One of the several HDR images I shot at Laurel Hill in Lorton Virginia this past weekend

In addition to starting to play with light and light sources I have also been experimenting with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Images. The main purpose of HDR images is to make high-bit images that retain light and shadow detail better than a single exposure can. Basically an HDR image is a combination of several images shot at different exposure levels to capture as much of the light and shadow range in a specific scene. Wikipedia does a good job of laying it all out for you, so I won;t go into much more detail than that in here, instead, here’s some images I recently shot while riding the trails of Laurel Hill in Lorton Virginia.
