I have been playing with light again . It's an addiction of mine . I like to do whats not well known as my artistic passions present them selfs to me usually while meditating. I utilize grounding techniques that keep me in the moment but often allow me to think deeper and wider than typically useful. In these photos I utilized a technique called HDR usually a day time technique . With tripod in tow I went to place that are local to me for the experiment can one do HDR at night ? The answer is an definite yes and I love how the photos look when you import them into LR and merge them into one file. I them dodge and burn them to highlight and darken areas of the photos, add digital filtering, and massive sharpening techniques in PS. I love how this project opened my eyes to what is possible . I feel this is foundation to doing my next trick and thats multiple exposure in HDR .
