Photo of the day (12.03.09)

I’ve mentioned the wonderful effects achievable with HDR software before. HDR, or High Dynamic Range photos are usually a combination of 3 to 5 differently exposed photographs that are merged together to create a very detailed and perfectly lit picture.

This shot, called Brandywine River, by Floyd Dean was created by creating an infrared look with an HDR picture. Most of Floyd’s pictures aren’t manipulated to this extreme, but the results in this shot make me want to look over some of my HDR pictures to see how they’d look with some different effects applied.

Yet another nice job, Floyd!
