How To Create A Pseudo HDR Photograph
HDR is the process of taking three or more identical exposures of the same shot: one correctly exposed, one over exposed and one under exposed. They are overlaid, normally using a third-party piece of software like Photomatix, which replaces all the blown out highlights in the over-exposed shot with the correctly exposed highlights from the under-exposed shot, and vice versa.

Buying A Cheap Rangefinder Camera
Until last week I was just a ‘Canon Man’.

No, I haven’t just won the pools, and yes, my wife is not particularly impressed.

Ice Cream Vendor Shortlisted In Telegraph
I was very pleased to see that my hand-held HDR shot of an ice-cream vendor was shortlisted in this week’s Big Picture, the weekly online photography competition. It’s not the first time they’ve run a hand-held HDR picture of mine. Come to think of it, I think this could be the third! Either way, it’s a real pleasure to see it in round 203.
