I have been getting some questions in the comments section and although I usually try and answer them personally, I thought it might benefit others to do it in a post. Blog reader Paulo Jordao has been asking some good questions about photowalking; what it is and how to plan one. Instead of answering this question directly, I’m going to point everyone back to an entry I posted back in February called “A Guide to Photowalking“. You can find the article by clicking here. The article covers everything you might want to know about photowalking including what it is, what to bring, and what to do. I finished off by listing all of the steps you can take to organize your own photowalk. Another great resource for photowalking information, including posts of planned photowalks can be found over at Photowalking.org.
Ok, here’s a little something for all of your Wordpress bloggers out there. My Firefox just crashed on me, taking with it what I thought was the last 15 minuted of my blogging life. Luckily I have upgraded to version 2.5 and it saved my butt. You see, in 2.5, the Post Editor periodically saves your post as a draft, even if you forget to. Thank you Wordpress developers for saving my tired bacon. Now back to it…
Blog reader Nat left me some very kind comments on my HDR Images page along with a request to teach him how to create his own HDR images. Today is you lucky day Nat, because if you just move your mouse up to the top of the page, you will find my Tutorials section which contains a 3-part video tutorial on how I process my HDR images (or you can just click here to go right to the page). There are also a couple of alternative processing tutorials that will help you render similar results. But as always, feel free to ask me questions and I will be happy to answer them. If you like, you can go to YouTube and subscribe to my videos so that you receive an alert every time I post a new one. Man, I love the Internet! Just look for the Subscribe button and give it a click. Another great resource for learning HDR photography can be found over at Trey Ratcliff’s site, Stuck In Customs. Trey is an HDR veteran and has a great tutorial that can be found by clicking here.
And now, since I happened to be chatting about HDR, I thought I would finish off with a couple of HDR processed images from my recent Georgetown adventure. I am posting the before and after shots so you can see the effect. Make sure you click on the pictures to see the larger versions.

What do you use for HDR?…
I’ve used Photomatix before and seen many examples. My conclusion is that it is a cool and trippy effect, but rarely find much use for it. The end result is just too fake and unnatural. Photos manipulated by Photomatix are way too easy to spot.
