Made my way back to Snoqualmie falls again this past weekend and tried to capture the massiveness of the scene with panoramas.

Improving My Dynamic Range
Reflecting on the year: This year is drawing to a close and as part of a retrospective look on the year I am finishing and publishing several blog posts that at one point I started and never completed.
While in Philadelphia I sent some time playing around with High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. For me to create images containing a larger dynamic range than my camera is able to capture I took several exposures with different EV values, to capture highlights, mid-tones, and shadows in detail and then composited the images together to create on image with a larger dynamic range than I would normally be able to capture.

Reflecting on the year: This year is drawing to a close and as part of a retrospective look on the year I am finishing and publishing several blog posts that at one point I started and never completed. Here are some photos from September that I never got around to publishing.
For some photography practice my roommate and I set up a shoot where we would be dunking roses in isopropyl alcohol and photographing them burning.

For some added fun I grabbed a few 3D printed objects from calibrating my printer and we staged a few shots with them as well.
