NEW! Facebook Timeline

On Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Facebook is officially switching over to the new Timeline format. Some Facebookers have already taken the plunge. Others say they "just don't like it". Be that as it may, next Tuesday it is going to be imposed on all users. For more information on this new feature, go here: http://www.facebook.com/timeline

This is the new "Cover Photo" that all pages will have. This shot above, is from the official Timeline Facebook page.

The photo above, is the one I'm currently using on my personal FB page.

It's a shot of Wilson Creek, where I live.

Single Image Version of HDR

Many times it seems impossible to capture multiple exposures of a specific subject. Other times there is just too much movement to expect to be able to "sync" multiple images. And, then there are those favorite images from the past that one may wish they had captured in multiple exposures. What to do? Can an HDR image be created from a single exposure? Well, yes and no. There are a few routines, out there, and there are a couple "actions" sets available (to use with Photoshop). One just needs to Google around until something appropriate is found. Here's a method using Photoshop and Photomatix 3.0. With any HDR image, at least 3 exposures are needed, so this is my work-around workflow: I duplicate the original image twice, in the layers palette. I then make a lighter version and a darker version, using the levels slider and exposure sliders, under image adjustments in Photoshop. Under scripts, I then choose "export layers as files", and that gives me the 3 exposures necessary. I then load them into Photomatix, process it, and spend some time in ToneMapping within Photomatix. Additional smoothing may be needed.
