See the Light

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We spent the holiday relaxing in Sewanee with family and two lively black labs. Remember this post? We're kind of crazy about that place.

The beautiful, clear weather provided Jeff with the perfect opportunity to test out high dynamic range imaging with his D800. HDR is a set of methods that allows a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging. By taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and then stitching them together, you can create a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas. Pretty weird/impressive, don't you think? 


























While we're talking about impressive photographs, check out this video that Sewanee Alum and National Geographic Photographer Stephen Alvarez created from over 5,000 still images. A-mazing.

More to come!
