    Yea i actually wanted to ask you about that tbing. How do you compose an hdr photo i did one once with a sample set of photos but what is the minimum exposure range/number of exposures i should shoot. Do you just overlap them as layers after that or wat? Any help would be appreciated.

    Download Photomatix(my personal favorite for HDR, its free), or if you have CS2 or CS3 or CS4, it can be done there. But it merges 3+ photos into one. Any less than 3 will look bad, but much more than 10 will look just like an extremely well composed photo. If its a moving object (say clouds) you want to take the pictures as fast as possible so that they aren't too far apart from each other or you'll get some weird effects.

    Basically what you want, you want your optimal photo to begin with, then a photo that is overexposed by a few values and a photo that is underexposed by a few values. This will bring out the shadows and highlights of the object you're shooting. After that, you can tone map it, or just mess around with some filters... Get it how you want it, then you're done :)

    Looks like a pretty Spartan lifestyle. Didn't you pack your snowboard? Hope you get home soon, there are waves on the way.

    Yum, Black Urchin! Then imagine those brittle spines sticking painfully out of your back after you bounce off of the reef at Doña Maria's, PR.

    I have stepped on an urchin. But, never bounced off any reef before. Maybe you are explaining yourself in that comment.

    btw - that urchin is from Barbados not P.R.

    Same Ocean, Same Urchins

    Not moi, but a guy I saw in PR who looked like a walking pincushion. The year was 1968, probably before you were even born.

    Sucks for that guy....Yeah...I wasn't even alive in 68'. Same ocean...yes...same urchin....probably yeah. My buddy got raked by the reef at Maria's...It was actually pretty funny at the time. He didn't think so...but, I couldn't stop laughing.
