Ashtabula.


Heading back to Ashtabula Ohio (hometown).
My high school is being torn down and I have a chance to get shots of the inside.
I haven't been inside sense 1973 so it'll be interesting to see what it looks like compared to what I remember (which isn't much).

Filters

Looking into an Infrared filter.
Singh-Ray makes one that blocks all visible and UV light.

HDR Photography

Notes on HDR (high dynamic range) photography used to produce some of the photo's in our company calendar. HDR is a technique that allows a greater dynamic range of luminance between the photo's highlights and shadow detail.The photo contains three different exposures. One shot is "normal" another is over exposed by two f-stops and the final is under exposed by two f-stops. This is also known as bracketing. The images are then combined in Adobe Photoshop or a HDR program such as Photomatix. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity found in real scenes.
