[HDR-photo] My HDRs: Scotland, Long Island, etc.

[Joshua Trupin]

Aw, shucks. :-)

Most of them are single exposure from the 12-bit RAW file. I just 
retagged the lot; the ones that are multiexposure say so in the tags 
now. But they're #4, 15, 32, 33, and 34. The rest of them, I took them 
for the most part before I got into HDR. When I do shoot for HDR now, 
I'll do a five-stop bracket of -2 to +2. My biggest goal was to pull out 
non-crappy skies on bright days, which is why I went back to single-file 
RAW images first. Sometimes I'll run pictures through and they're just 
OK. Sometimes, I'll run a picture like #5 through and it'll be OH WOW.

The biggest problem I have is not noise with the skies, but really bad 
chromatic noise in grass when I do landscapes.  That's the biggest 
source of tossed HDRs for me.
