Low Light attempts at High Dynamic Range photographs
 
Glen Echo Park

The entrance to Glen Echo Park. The park shut down in 1968 and has since become part of the national park service.

 

This was bracketed down from seven shots.

The Capitol and it's reflection, Christmas Eve 2006. I somehow managed to get a shot w/o any christmas lights.

 

This was crunched down from three bracketed shots.

Peace monument and the Capitol
 
Capitol, Rayburn, Botanical Gardens, and Ulysses S. Grant

It was like midnight in Washington, DC. The reflecting pool was completely calm. and I tried to catch as much reflecting as possible.

 

This was crunched down via my camera's auto bracket.

model train scene

In-front of the Botanical Garden they had this model train scene built. Quite a thing w/ four sets of bridges. It's scenes like this that remind me that DC is beautiful... except in the summer or when the tourists are in town... or when the protesters have decided they're pissed.

 

This was crunched together from four shots.

Old Executive Office Building

The big wreath on the Old Executive Office Building (OEOB). At some point they, presumably the same "they" that renamed National Airport, renamed OEOB to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) but what self-respecting staffer would call it that?

 

Crunched down from two shots and yes it's shaky... the executive police force wouldn't let me use a tripod. I did my best leaning on the fence in-front of the building.

These are my first attempts at doing High Dynamic Range photographs. Don't be gentle. They suck. Some were done w/ jpegs w/ auto bracketing, some were done w/ raw shots and several brackets. All were cobbled together w/ Photoshop CS2 and Bridge. If there's some better softwares to do this I would gladly listen. No I couldn't figure out how to make the GIMP do it... I should code some scheme to attempt it.
