(Day 10)


Well, after 3 hellish days of being sick I'm now a bit better than before ( I still have the occasional snuffles and sneezes though :( ), and to make up to you guys from my last 3 uninspired crappy photo I decided to try out my first serious HDR photo attempt YEY!!. So what can I say about this picture?? Well I would say this picture was a bit challenging to me, (Why?) well when I took this photograph at Crescent Beach in White Rock, it was extremely cold about -8 with the wind chill, and it was very cloudy too which it go me a bit worried since I'm not sure if I would be able to take picture with good depth and effect for the skies, but after a bit of tweaking I was able to achieve what I wanted for my picture. It was also my first time to use my brand new cheapass tripod which totally made my life easier.

For the editing, I used a software called "Photomatix", its basically a computer program that produces HDR photo using multiple photographs with diff. exposures (google it for more info) and a bit of Lightroom just to tweak it, overall its was good enuf for me, but I'm hoping that someday I would be able to produce more HDR photos that are better and cooler than this. Hope you guys like it.

Side Note: It was also my first time going here even though I just live 20 minutes away from it lol! So I was a bit excited when I got better since this is what I really planned on this day. In my mind though I was expecting sunshine and a bit of warm weather, unfortunately it went the other way :(
