A short and easy course on what an F stop means to you in basics with an emphasis on humor.

This album is dedicated to SusanA, who made me a bald man over night.

A tutorial on how to "matte and frame" your photo so it emulates a typical gallery presentation.


NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN. Please excuse the current mess.

Using five different techniques in High Dynamic Range photography, this experiment is designed to look at the end results of those techniques.

The techniques used were:
1: A sequence of 7 shots, 1 f stop apart.
2: A sequence of 3 shots. 3 f stops apart
3: A sequence of 3 shots, 2 f stops apart
4: A sequence of 3 shots, 1 f stop apart
5: A single shot, adjusted for brightness in Photoshop pre-tone mapping

An additional tutorial on HDR imaging for beginners can be found on my web site, http://www.davearnoldphoto.com/HDRtutorial.htm
