Happy Place hdr

Originally uploaded by dreamscapepictures.

You may ask what is hdr, well it is a new form of photography, which stands for High Dynamic Range. It gives a three dimensional effect to your photographs. It is not an easy effect achieve, This shot was duel purpose for me, one to test out hdr and slow shutter together on water. It had a really unique look. The green in the water is caused by a thick layer of alge growing at the surface. This is our local rock slide that sends you down into a water hole. Good old fashioned fun.

This is that special time when the sun sinks behind the horizon, sky deepening in blue, any moment the starlight will begin to shine. I love this part of a sunset. It may not be dramatic as a cloud filled sky,
but still there is something very calming about a quiet sunset like this.

I want to make a BIG Splash!

Shot atop a high hill in Birmingham, this sunset proved to be very dramatic, it changed constantly with fog rising up over the distant hill,
it was magical. My husband actually turned round so I could capture from the Parking lot of a local eatery, seeing me there shooting drew
onlookers and fellow phototogs.

Originally uploaded by dreamscapepictures.

My favorite creek. Once slated for destruction by county officals, to be replaced with a prison. Our community stood up and fought to save it. It is a hot spot in our communtiy, now a nature preserve, it features
a rock slide that you can ride in a sturdy pair of jeans, that will dump you out into a swimming hole.
