Here's the proof. First, a picture as my D3200 created it as a .JPG, and next, an HDR image created from just that one same shot, using the method that I described above. In the first image, you can see that there is detail lost in the highlights, near the upper right of the structure, and...

Except that it doesn't really appear to show four legs. It looks like the same picture of the same one leg, reproduced four different times, with four different “filter” treatments.

I was just looking back through a bunch of old threads, and I noticed that Benjamin Kanarek is now banned; which sparked some curiosity on my part. A few of his threads sparked some minor controversy, but I cannot see anything on his part that comes anywhere close to warranting him being...

I thought occurred to me, a question that needed to be asked, as I was looking at a recent thread where the OP praises the virtues of film. I hadn't really paid that much detailed attention to the challenge rules, but was aware that the use of a Nikon camera is called for, as well as EXIF...

I'd like to see a theme that involves effects, such as a Brocken Spectre. Alas, the conditions that make a truly natural Brocken Spectre are fairly rare, and even the conditions that allowed me to create this semi-artificial Brocken Spectre are not at all common where I live. Some broader...

Another radio-controlled model submarine, that I easily forget that I have, unless something makes me think of it. This one is much smaller, simpler, and generally less impressive than the other. Small enough to operate very comfortably in a bathtub, unlike my other one. In fact, here I am...

As with @ScottinPollock, I'm revisiting a concept I used a couple challenges ago. For “Floaters”, I used a radio-controlled model submarine, in a pond, along with a puff of Spirogyra and some fish. I also have this much smaller, simpler radio-controlled submarine. It's about three inches...

Radio-controlled toy submarine.

I'm wondering if you are basing your experience with these on a comparable experience with other NiMH batteries, or with disposable Alkaline or carbon-zinc batteries. A very long time ago, at a time when I was using a lot of disposable AA and AAA batteries for various applications, I bought a...

I was right. Spirogyra.

For the first time, ever, I ran it in a pond, rather than a bathtub or a swimming pool. For the current weekly challenge, I wanted a picture of it in a setting that was not quite so obviously artificial. I wouldn't normally run it in such a pond, because of the risk of losing it if I should...

After a bunch of ideas that didn't work, it was my wife, @Seanette, who suggested this box fan, by itself, which was an element from a previous failed idea. 1/80 of a second at ƒ/4.5, ISO 400. Light from an outside window, and a Sunpak auto 2000 DZ at full power, pointed straight up, with a...
