When I was at this spot at Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, I thought that the foreground was rather dark, so I took a pair of photos of this scene - one was a normal shot and the other, an HDR shot which is shown here. Although the HDR capture has the "halo-effect" around the towers and trees, it appears more detailed and cheerful. What do you think?

PS: When the Burmese attacked Ayutthaya in the past, they beheaded all these Buddha statues. A few have since been restored.

A combination of titles for this image. One is from this one I came across a few years ago on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/the-o/6177849668/in/gallery-1472333...). The other is from one of the Nik CEP 4.0 filters I used for this image. It's actually a recipe of a number of filters, but the Low Key filter is one that really brought out the look I felt best captured this mountain setting. With the bright sunlight coming out this late morning, I decided to once again try out a techniques of using an HDR capture with my Nikon D800E with multiple in-camera exposures. I then brought the image into Capture NX2 for a majority of the post-processing work before exporting a TIFF image to Nik CEP 4.0

I took a whole series of pictures around the pier, and I have a feeling those better at HDR and with an artistic eye might be able to squeeze a lot me juice out of this subject, than me.

A challenge for the future may be ?

Thor's Helmet ( NGC 2359 ) in the constellation Canis Major

This HDR image shows the bright nebula in a sea of colourful stars against a background of red from dust and HA emissions. The stars in this image range from the brightest ( bottom right, HD 56501 ) at magnitude +7.7 to more than +22. HDR capture and processing allows all of the stars to be portrayed in colour without any burnt-out highlights. The colours of the stars and nebula are as close as I can get them to the "true colours" using a "daylight colour balance" and allowing for the extinction of blue-green due to atmospheric absorption/scattering ( mean altitude during capture ~ 60deg ).

The blue star in the centre of the bubble of expanding stellar material is HD 56925 ( WR7 ) - a massive, unstable and short-lived Wolf-Rayet star that one day will detonate in a supernova.

We were very fortunate to spend this year's 4th of July holiday with family & friends, and we had an absolutely fantastic time! We also had a rare opportunity to attend a fireworks show as a guest of the team responsible for running the event.

Just wanted to say thank you to Doug, Brian, and the rest of the team for giving us the opportunity to see how a professional fireworks display is choreographed and executed. The show was outstanding, and will be remembered by us for a long time to come.

Here's a few of my favorite fireworks shots that I took at their show... These are all non-HDR captures, and have been finished in Photoshop.
