[HDR-photo] Intro (Terry Wyse)

[Andrew S. Webb]

Hello, Terry,

Nice to see another Color Theory member here.

If you haven't already seen it, check out Issue #76 of Lenswork/ 
Lenswork Extended for the "Energy Plant" portfolio by Jim Lawrence.

It's one of the best examples of B&W HDR I've seen anywhere.

Cheers,

/andrew
