Lever du soleil sur les rives de la Gironde à Pauillac.

The first time I saw a real HDR frame I was truly taken aback (I remember it was a huge yellow excavator under an amazing late afternoon sky) ... That moment really pushed me into taking up photography as a really serious hobby ... I really couldn't imagine how on earth can a photographer actually represent the true lighting and color conditions of an all around low light scene with such unsurpassed accuracy and precision ... It then became one of my noble pursuits to try to master the technique in the best possible way (all these about eight years ago) ...
Since then I experimented a lot ... Both on photo shooting sites as well as at home ... I still do ... When I find an excellent landscape ahead of me I try to create a masterful synthesis and then I try to enclose this synthesis into my camera's sensor using a variety of camera adjustments ... Even minor adjustments can make a difference from an elegant frame to an excellent one ... Exchanging focusing points on the overall vista, as well as altering Exposure Compensation and aperture values are some of these adjustments ...
Of course three more things one should always bear in mind: The first is to always shoot RAW, the second is to use a steady tripod and last but not least buy an excellent HDR Software from the tens that exist out there that suits one's processing skills and final aesthetic outcome on a frame and master it ...

Shoveling sand to build a burrow and an adjacent sandcastle, this horn-eyed ghost crab scoops and carries with the large left claw then flings the sand with the smaller right claw. Interestingly, individuals are right or left clawed (laterality). Males heap the excavated sand high in the intertidal zone of a broad sandy beach, thought to be a territorial signal to other crabs or to attract a potential mate. Horn-eyed ghost crabs (Ocypode ceratophthalmus) range across the Indo-Pacific and Polynesia.
