11/365: Old Tractor HDR I've driven by this old heap for the last few days and decided to stop today. Unfortunately, it's not parked in a very convenient place, so I had to get creative with the point of view. I'm not very happy with this one because my DoF is off. I might have to try again...

And just for sh#ts and giggles, here's the color version.

10/365: Bad Motorscooter HDR/B&W Saw this parked alongside the road this evening and had to stop. Good thing...I kinda forgot about the 365 today!

9/365: Kaiser Lake HDR This is one of the local water holes. Ohio certainly isn't known for its inland lakes, but I figured I'd venture out there today anyway and see what I could get into.

8/365: From the Fringe Another photojournalism assignment for the paper this morning. It's almost time for fall high school sports to begin, and this is the golf preview event for local golf teams.

Here is the original photo: And with the Lab Brighten method. Lab layer set to 50% opacity:

No, it's not just your eyes deceiving you, those photos you see in magazines are more vivid and colorful. Here's a quick 10-step tutorial that will walk you through how they do it. I should also note that this is a non-destructive method. Here we have an HDR photo of a bridge. Because it's...

7/365: Big Four Depot This now abandoned depot was once a bustling hub of rail activity operated by the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis (CCC&StL or Big Four). During the 1940's, this building shipped thousands of local boys off to war. Not too far up the line from this depot is...

6/365: Relay for Life Today's photo doubles as a photojournalism assignment. The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life has a long history of being much more than just a fundraiser, it's an experience. Where most others walk in shifts, so that at least one member of their team is walking at...

I'm not going to play fair, so I'm using this little red haired kid.

5/365: Tilt Shift I've been wanting to play with this for awhile now. Tilt shift photography is where you take a scene and make it appear to look like a small model. The key is to get somewhat of an aerial view, as if you are looking down on a model. You should give it a try in your own...

Awwww...isn't that cute? The Apple fanboys want to be in on the discussion too.

4/365: Main Entrance It's been a loooong time since I've done some night time HDR. Almost a year, I think. I woke up at 1:00am to get this shot of the local hospital. Night photography in itself is a challenge, but throwing HDR into the mix makes for some very long wait times between shutter...

I hear ya about RailPictures.net, man. I tried a ton of times too and gave up a long time ago. Somewhere on that mess of a website is a list of their requirements, most of which are pretty stupid. Shortlines are the best! They're far more likely to let you take photos than the big dogs...

Yeah, that's why I picked that one. I knew it would 'throrughly' annoy our resident Spelling Nazi. LMAO! Been waiting awhile to post this one for ya, Jack:

3/365: Rose of Sharon This is the Hibiscus syriacus variety (yes, I had to look that up). We finally got some rain last night and today has been very overcast, so I decided to do an indoor studio shot. Nothing stellar by any means, though I'm happy that the water drops are reflecting the...

I hear it can be very difficult to get into Canada. The traffic is horrible because all the Canadians are trying to get into the US. Okay, I'm done now.

Candid Smiles Weekly Challenge August 3-10 The winner of the previous challenge was Kim20. She issued this challenge and will be judging the entries. Good luck everyone! A smile can brighten anyone's day. Nothing makes me feel happier than to see someone with a smile on their face, and...

I heart Canada.
