Been busy and it looks like that trend is going to carry on for the foreseeable future. I have updated all of my galleries with the exception of Oceans adding 16 new images, primarily to Abstractions 2. I have a review halfway written for RadioPopper’s JrX STUDIO flash triggers which I will try to have up soon.

Some new hardware and software “toys” and site updats…

Palm has released the beta version of the native Plug-in Developer Kit (PDK) for the Palm Pre, though unfortunately they don’t have support for Linux yet.

Mostly it consists of empty lots and withering asphalt. The mine still burns, evidenced only by tendrils of smoke, a few residents remain and it has become a drive-through curiosity.
A sad old road.
HDR: A hate love relationship
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009As a majority of internet users are at this very moment in the process of uploading a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to Flicker, I will assume that most of you know what they are. For those few who do not know, simply put, they are a compositing of several images of the same subject with different exposures merged together using software such as Photomatrix or Photoshop. This process allows your to achieve neutral exposures throughout the image and otherwise improbable/impossible images with tone mapping.
