VIDEO!

I just noticed that I can add videos!

Here is one that I took on my little Olympus Verve digital camera that I bought from Dad.

Dining room in HDR

OK - the Livingroom has been painted, and it is now the Diningroom. WHAT!? - you may say....

Over XMAS we had a lot of people over for dinner, so we moved the couch into the kitchen and the table into the livingroom to handle the 18 of us.

We liked it that way!

The kitchen is like a cozy café, and our wonderful (and large) dining room suite has room to breath, expand and entertain.

I decided to take a couple of photos to share (similar to what I would do for a client)...

We bought a couple of matching lamps to keep the symmetry.

Now - what is HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. This is where you take a bunch of photos and combine them. Why? Well, you take some photos that are dark too keep details in the highlights, and some photos that are bright, to keep details in the shadows. Then they are merged to keep detail everywhere!

I have been investigating some options and playing around - here are some examples. (I also want to find out if it could help in the Real Estate photo shots)

This is from Enfuse:

and this is from qtpfsgui (there are more options - harder to get a good image) :

And finally - you can get really extreme - and man does it look wierd!

Oh - here is what the photo looks like when you just shoot with no flash, and put the camera on auto:
