Balboa Park


This last weekend Barbara and I went down to Balboa Park for Valentine's day. It was fun to ride bikes around the park and explore the attractions and architecture. I've been playing around with HDR photography recently and I thought this would be a great chance to play around with some technique on cool subjects. Barb was a trooper as I squeezed myself into corners and shot multiple exposures over and over so I was assured a steady shot. It was a really fun day and I'm totally psyched to go back a shoot more when I have a real tripod (not a pocket tripod) and more time to shoot. Either way, here are some examples I put together from the day.

They definitely have that effect. I'm trying to learn how tweek the look with blending the HDR shot with the regular ones through masking. Fun experimenting!
