hdr_power-pole_17_0-85_0_mm_2.jpg

This is a power pole near where I live, and the shot itself is (once again) a image. I was particularly impressed with how well composing the image in HDR dealt with the and the intensity of the Sun, both of which can normally look very ugly in the lens I was using at the time.

and her friend Michelle sit and talk at Michelle’s birthday party. I added a bit of lens flare to this shot in , because I quite frankly prefer the look of Photoshop’s rendered over the somewhat uglier flare that my 17-85 mm lens displays.
