I updated it again. Turned out the last one was pretty buggy in IE.

HDR - High Dynamic Range

HDR is a technique to merge multiple exposures of the same photograph. It's an attempt to show what our eyes are capable of seeing, in terms of brightness differences. Eyes see about 10 "stops," where each stop is twice as bright - that's how you can look out the window on a bright day, as well as see where the trash bin is under your desk to throw out your eighteenth "to-do" list of the day. Cameras can only capture about 4-5 stops of light.

This is a studio shot of my friend Andy (thanks for getting soaked). The high contrast and "plasticy" look is typical of HDR. Let me know what you think.

For more HDR by a Hallmark student, check out Trevor Lee Photography - he's got cool stuff.

Executive Portraits

I called in the talent last weekend, for an "Executive Portrait" shoot in Boston. Harrison and Mike, both friends from the BU rowing team, met me at the School of Management dressed for success. Thanks for modeling.
