This is our red barn in HDR, maid out of three images. This is one of my first HRD pictures. I'm sorry for the strokes on the wall, it's snow falling form the sky.
Thank you to Maksim! for helping me with my HDR technique. Check out his photostream!

The HRD Motorcycle Company began in 1924, as the brain-child of British RAF flying-officer and visionary, Howard Raymond Davies - HRD. After WWI, Howard Davies partnered E. J. Massey to form HRD, and began building motorcycles powered by the J.A. Prestwitch Company's now famous JAP 1000cc v-twin engines used in the Brough Superior.
HRD designs were well ahead of their time, setting new standards that the rest of the motorcycle industry would emulate over the next decade. In 1925, an HRD set an average speed record of 66.13 mph at the Isle Of Man TT, placing HRD into the history books.
