Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village

Headed out to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village east of Edmonton on Father’s Day. It was a mostly pleasant trip with the family, my parents, brother, his wife and her parents. Mostly pleasant because we got dumped on for about the last half hour or so - but hey, a little rain never hurt anyone.

I did manage to get a couple of nice shots.

Both the shots above are 7 exposure, 1 exposure value HDR images generated from a single RAW file. Be sure to check out the rest of the set, I’ll be adding more as the week goes by.

Shooting the sun…

We have such beautiful sunsets up here, I decided to head out last night and try and get a shot or two… I was using the AEB mode set to +/-2 so I had triple the shots I normally take, but some of them turned out fantastic!

I had the pleasure of hooking up with Paul while he was in town. I’ve always loved his HDR stuff and it’s really cool to see his treatment of locations I’m familiar with.

I absolutely love this treatment he has given this shot that he took in Jasper.

flickr Fave of the Day : No Day is Perfect by Extra Medium

Been following Extra Medium’s stream for awhile now, he used to be stock full of HDR work but has turned his focus on other things… but every now and then he pulls a shot from “the archives” and teases us once again. Not only is this shot great, the processing is superb!
