A Seat by the Fire
Uploaded: November 26, 2008
No flash, ambient light. The original (color) is a 3-exposure HDR as it was pretty dark in this room and the tonal range from the fire/lights to the dark paneling was about 15 stops - HDR to the rescue. I used Essential HDR for the HDR and Nik's Silver Efex Pro for the B&W conversion (used the "Brush" option to erase the B&W over the fire). The 3 HDR exposures were made at -2, 0, & +2 EV, 20mm, f/16,& shutter speeds from 1/8 to 2.5. Oh yeah - tripod.

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.
