Jason Daniel Photography

I struggled if I should have brought my tripod on the trip.  It was a pain in the butt, but I decided to bring it, and I’m very happy I did.

This shot is from my hotel room, and is an example of HDR, or High Dynamic Range.  HDR is when you merge multiple pictures together to get the "best" of all of them.  No more underexposed areas.  No more blown highlights. All the goodness wrapped together in one amazing photo. 

This is my very first attempt at HDR. Below are the three photos I used to generate this photo. 

I was getting ready to head to the conference in the morning, and I was struck by  the view from the balcony, the interesting textures in the room (carpet and drapes), and the morning light flooding into the area.  I quickly grabbed my tripod (again, *so* glad I brought it), bracketed off three shots of different exposures, and began to play with HDR. 

Whatcha think?
