HDR

A couple weeks ago I discovered a cool editing technique refered to as HDR, or High Dynamic Range editing. Basically, 3 or more pictures (underexposed, properly exposed, and overexposed) are compressed together to give a wider range of colors in the final picture. Depending on how you edit them, you can make them very real, or give them a little bit of "fantasy" edge, or a "hand-drawn" look. I'm kind of digging the "hand-drawn" look for the moment:

I know they aren't prefect, but I think they're a decent start. :) Now I just have to figure out how to make it quit looking like it's either dark and stormy or nighttime out...

The last series from that weekend so long ago in July. I promise!

The totally awesome kiddie pool Uncle and Auntie got for Michael


Cool man enjoying the pool before realizing how cold it was


He pretty much enjoyed running around in his diaper outside more than playing in the pool


Completely unaware of what is about to happen


Figuring out the pool, from the outside

He's such a happy kid!


One of those awesome "mistake" shots


Grandma trying to figure out how to work the bubbles... I think she was a little rusty.

A couple weeks ago Adam and I had the chance to run down to Dayton for the weekend to help my sister finishing packing up her things for their big move to New Jersey. Of course I couldn't resist taking a few pics of the little man! I'll break it down into a couple posts so it's not complete baby overload. ;)

Gotta teach 'em young!
