Reflections on the Potomac
Uploaded: January 14, 2008
This is a combination of three shots of the same scene to expand the dynamic range. I did it manually, so I don't know whether it can be called "High Dynamic Range" or HDR. The bridge and its reflection are a 30s exposure brightened further in RAW conversion, the middle is a 15s exposure, and the Kennedy Center (the bright horizontal building on the right side) is a 4s exposure.
Toss in some sharpening, a little noise reduction, and a bit of contrast enhancement, and you get this result.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
