I just looked at my photo archive (have the last 7 years images backed up on like three hard drives - lesson learned after losing about 300 images from 2002/2003 a couple years back) and it turns out that in almost every year September and October are the months when I take close to zero photos (not counting the copious amounts I take during work obviously).

So with that in mind and after a poor Sept 09 I'm endeavoring to build up my October 09 folder. This weeks theme (or attempt at a theme) is HDR.

I'm no expert at HDR so it's all learning and some images might not be a standard some are up to but I'm trying lol.

Anyway:

Two different attempts at the same scene:

and these two I did today at Dunfermline Abbey:

Any comments or tips on HDR would be appreciated.

I think you could use more Blacks on that, you histogram must be pretty weak on the dark side.

Nah. Blurred water lines has totally been done before. That was illuminated on a series of strobe flashes. Would have looked the same at 1/3rd sec :)

Besides, I was bored. I don't usually take photographs of showerheads. Apart from at the weekend. It's a fetish.

@digitaljames: Nice photo, I didn't know there was an f1.2 50mm

In case you haven't had enough from me, here's another picture I took:

I see what you did there...

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
