Well there are supposed to be thunder storms later this afternoon so I better get writing! I prefer to unplug my computer from the wall outlet to ensure any electrical spikes won't fry the system, even though I do have a battery backup in place. The last storm a day ago made the lights flicker; first time in recent memory. I think I already said this, but I have to admit that I really enjoyed making these High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography episodes ( 25 , 25A , and 26 ); I'm especially glad that I added episode 25A , as that clip demonstrated quite nicely how the camera can be setup to capture the multiple exposures needed to create an HDR image. Remember, even if you're using a different camera than the Olympus E-3 (as seen in the video), most have similar functionality, so I suggest checking your manual in order to discover how you can adjust those settings as well or use such features. Now it is in those multiple exposures where the proverbial secret to creating gr...

I thought I'd really quickly put together a video to demonstrate how I set my camera up when taking HDR photographs. Not only do I think it makes a good addition to episode 25 , but I also had a question about this. So hopefully this helps you out, and remember, most digital SLRs have similar functionality, so be sure to check out your manual to see how you can do this with your camera system. In my case, I was using my Olympus E-3. Once I'm done the Photoshop tutorial (part 2), I'll write up the supplemental post. L8r!
