What is the lens that you used?

Sorry I took so long to answer. I used a 17-40L at 17 as close as I could get wihtout missing the small evergreen on the left.


Thanks for all the nice responses.

Alan, thanks for the nice comment. The Avon Theatre is in the heart of downtown Stamford, CT and this picture was taken on a busy Saturday night last summer. I had to wait while cars streamed by to shoot the half dozen exposures for the HDR.

These were taken with a 40D and an EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS.
I started out with Photomatix but I now prefer Dynamic Photo HDR as it allows more control over the post processing.

What are other forum members' preferred choice of software for HDR?

Way cool images!

Thanks [H]. All hand held as well. I guess that'll serve me right for leaving my tripod in another continent!

Thought I'd contribute an interior shot or two:

Electrolyte-


Thank you for the kind words regarding the photo of my grandmother...I'm trying to take as many of her as I can so that I capture her exactly how I want to remember her. ;-)

Rob, that kitchen shot....it looks like I'm standing right in the kitchen, it looks so natural. HDR imagery does a great job on this shot.

Michael James,


I am extremely interested in your shots of the interiors. I think they don't come across as surreal, but maybe "better" than real. I understand that your realtor clients don't necessarily appreciate this, and I understand why, but as an amateur, and one who would do this kind of work for my company, I am very interested in understanding how you do this.


I appreciate your odysseywith trying to own high-end lighting, too, and I admire your ability to excel despite technical hurdles. I would like to use natural light anyway, so this is the path I would choose, even though I also want to learn how to use umbrellas, etc., in the future.


Would you mind if I contacted you privately to discuss your techniques?
