Fun, fun, fun...

I'm having way too much fun!
I love my job and I love my Hobby. I'm doing better than I deserve.
Have you ever heard this before..."On my way home tonight I stopped to photograph...."
Well from southern Utah I drove home. Stopped in Scipio, Utah mid-day to grab a bite to eat (and scope out a competitor). Well what did I find here? Not something to photograph. No way!
The question of the day. And a test! Is the photo above a HDR image? Now OF, don't tell. OF made an observation about the stubaker photo that has been bugging me also.
Ok. Is it or isn't HDR? Until I can figure it out here is the giveaway. At the old roof line look at how the contrast to the sky has a slight halo effect. BUGS ME TO DEATH. Seems to bug OF also. Oh by the way OF if you don't remember is Old Friend. And I mean OLD!!!! I think he is a scientist now. If not he could be. got the brains of a savant. But has a decent personality. We have had some pretty lengthy discussions about icthiosis on salt water fish!
Yes it's HDR.
This photo is a prime example of a good use for HDR. With out it and with the HOT mid-day light and deep shadows? Good Luck! Look at the detail in the wall lathe. Yet the floor and far window is still close to the right exposure.
But that dang halo. Got more work to do.........


Dan, Alea, Linds. What's the assignment this week? How about "hot lazy summer pics"?
