I just noticed that my last post here was written when I first heard about HDR, seems so naive now.. Since then I've pretty much been doing photography non-stop. For my birthday I was able to upgrade my camera to a digital SLR (Canon Digital Rebel XT) and a brand spanking new Tamron 11-18mm lens. I love 'em both.
My flickr continues to grow, I find the site somewhat addictive even, but it's a great way to waste time at work. There you can find a couple HDR's I've done (it's a lot less painless with digital, although I did get some from film as well).
I've also learned a lot in Photoshop--most importantly: how to use layer masks, adjustment layers, and the Curves tool.
I'm using Photoshop CS3, Photomatix, and a really awesome filter called Lucisart.
I find myself not only attracted to the art of taking photographs--composition, lighting, etc..-- but the ancillary acts of exploring urban areas and natural landscapes seeking out interesting perspectives and locations, keeping an eye out all the time for unique images of beauty and inspiration, appreciating things that would normally go unnoticed, and yes, playing with some really cool gear.
The act of sharing the works produced is very rewarding; sharing anything for that matter is an easy and cheap way of feeling happy, connected, alive...
My love and I are on our way to Spain in less than 1 month! Surely some good photos to come :)
