NCAR10D-4_HDR
January 23, 2010
Moving to North Carolina was a new adventure. I had left Illinois behind, and with it the flatlands and fields. There was a lot to like about IL, but nature and wilderness were not among them. Suddenly, I was among trees again, real forests and topography. It was great. And a large city like Raleigh had a fair share of parks and greenery for such an urban area. This shot was taken within the first couple weeks of living in the city, at Yates Mill Historic County Park. Just a few minutes south of downtown, this old mill has a large spillway, and the angle and the contrast made me interested in trying an HDR shot. This was really my first HDR shot ever attempted. It is not perfect, and I realize that, but it was a first stab at this new form of media. And the rest is history. Enjoy.
