Conflictied Brain Processing (CBP)

Well - you guys are getting the short end of the stick today. All my tiny little brain can think about is High Dynamic Range Photography and Tonal Mapping. In other words - making photos that look like this.

Oh - I know what you all are saying, "High Dynamic Range Photography and Tonal Mapping" sounds so easy, what up dog!!

But in reality it's not that easy.

You see the one problem a camera has is when you have a very bright spot on an image. Your eyes can adjust to darkness and brightness in an instant but a small camera lens does not have that ability to travel around adjusting. There are filters you can use but they do not work THAT great.

So what you can do is take 3 to 5 photographs of the same photo, all with a different setting. Then convert all 5 into a 32-bit images and then merge all 5 into one photo on top of each other. But since a 32-bit photo is unusable you have to convert them BACK to 16-bit. And other stuff that is hard to explain.

My ultimate goal is to have an entire series of photos of Columbus and have an exhibit at some point at East James Gallery. As soon as I figure out how to do this, CORRECTLY (so far THAT part has not happened yet).

So I'm sitting here trying to write a blog but my brain is working on other HDR-TM problems. It's WAR - It's ON baby!
=============================
Had a meeting about the Public Enemies Celebration July 11th in Columbus. If there are any actors/extras out there that want to partake give me a holler. Also - Picture Car drivers WE NEED YOU. We are thinking of having one place for people to park and talk about the experience - a reunion???

The Celebration will get some advertising and it's sounding rather fun. PLUS there IS the Parade on the 4th. Drivers - give me a holler also.
===============================
ANYBODY that thinks Public Enemies did or will not help Columbus has his head in the sand and is out of touch. And I will make sure people know that! If I don't find a bandwagon to jump on I'll make my own LOL

================================
Be ready for a little wind tonight - sustained 25-35mph winds with gusts to 50mph. On the bright side all of this nasty warm wet weather will vanish overnight to be replaced with wind chills of -4F. Wonderful. But totally spring-like.
================================

HEY - it's OK to go to Utah soon. Did you know that there are NO bars in Utah? They only have private clubs that serve liqueur. You need to apply and pay a fee in order to be served alcohol. This is all changing July 1st. However there was strong resistance from Republicans who were demanding that restaurants have 10 foot high walls called Zion Curtains that would hide bartenders from children. The argument was that children would see people mixing drinks would make the kids take up drinking.

Utah - TEAR DOWN YOUR CURTAIN!
=========================
See - I was just reading HDR workflow!! I'm conflicted.

I gotta go!!!

Have a great day
