Default The wait

Very pedestrian HDR work LOL, but I kind of like how it turned out. And no, I have no idea how Mike got the cobwebs on his feet ;-) maybe mom's spending too much time taking pics and not enough cleaning house ;-)

Thanks Hayward ;-) yep, the HDR thingy is pretty fun to mess with. I really want to get out and get some good old building shots...I'm going to a cattle ranch on Friday, maybe I'll get some good shots then. I'm thinking Corriente cattle might look good in HDR ;-)

I love it !!! Is it hard to do ? I'm so interested in trying this HDR too. I love your shot and what you did with it, very nice ! Can't wait to see what else you do with the cattle.

I love the message of the shot. The cobwebs, well they developed while he was waiting to go for the walk .

ROFLMAO. thats funny ;-)

HDR? I imagine to do it right, it takes some time to learn all the ins and outs of the program...but there are lots of good tutorials out there, and of course there are way better examples of what you can accomplish with it, then my poor attempt LOL Also I think that some shots lend themselves better to HDR than others...but once again, I was just playing with it ;-) and it is fun!

Well, I've had a couple people tell me it looks like it should be a poster in a childs room...oddly enough I've been working on a childrens book, and it has two young boys and a young girl in it, and of course a Border Collie ;-) I'm thinking it might not be a bad dust jacket ;-)
