I got back from Boston a few hours ago and I’m still going through all my images. I did manage to go through my night shots of the city so already so I’ll share a few more of my favorites. Enjoy!

Tags: boston, hdr, massachusetts, nightI was out and about around DC tonight for a commercial shoot I was contracted to do. In addition to the photos for the shoot, I managed to get a few shots for myself.
This is a part of Arlington, VA known as Rosslyn. It sits right across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial and Kennedy Center. This shot was taken from the Memorial Bridge.
Too tired to go through the rest of the photos now. More coming soon!

After the official photowalk, my girlfriend and I stopped by a one of the more tourist-y areas to take a few more photos. A few of my favorites from the day below:

Last Train to Gettysburg
Just thought I’d give everyone a peek at one of the shots from today’s photowalk in Gettysburg, PA. Thanks to Andy for organizing the event!
I got a late start editing photos this evening due to some other errands I had to do after the walk… I’ll be editing and uploading the rest tomorrow evening. In the meantime, you can see everyone else’s photos from the day here.

Tags: gettysburg, hdr, pennsylvania, photowalkOne of the questions I get most often is:
“How do you get HDR photos with no ghosts in them? Are you making the HDR from a single RAW?”
The answer to the second question is No. 99% of the time, I use multiple exposures for my HDR photos. The problem is, when taking multiple exposures, not everything in the frame is going to stay perfectly still for all three exposures. This usually happens when you’re doing an HDR photo of a scene with people in it. When you merge the three photos together, you’ll often see something like the following:

If you look at the bottom of the photo, you’ll see “ghosts”. I layered three images together, and since people were moving while I was taking the three photos, the images of the people aren’t very pleasing:

Here in the DC area, we had two, both of which were led by Jeff Revell of PhotoWalkPro. Many thanks to Jeff for organizing such a great day of photography for all of us!
You can read more about the day at PhotoWalkPro, Photo Notes, or ScottKelby.com.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few of my images from Saturday:

Tags: alexandria, hdr, photowalk, virginia, washington-dc, worldwideAs many of you know, I participated in two great photowalks this past weekend. I have finally finished processing the photos from Friday night’s photowalk along the National Mall. I’ve included a few of my favorites below:
Overall, more than 50 local photographers showed up. You might recall that this photowalk was organized by Trevor from Photowalking.org who happened to be in town with his wife on vacation.
Thanks for organizing this Trevor! I hope you had a great time in DC!

Tags: hdr, photowalk, sunset, vietnam-memorial, washington, washington-dcIf you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time now, you know I love HDR photos… maybe a little too much! But, given the kind of shooting I was doing in Palestine, there weren’t too many opportunities to do HDRs. There was one night, however, when we were visiting the Darna Center, that I was able to get on the roof, set the camera on a flat surface and get some high-dynamic range photos of my second home. You can see them below…
I’m almost done with editing the 14,000 photos I took in Palestine. I only have 3 more days worth of photos left. I am hoping to be finished this weekend, at which point I’ll be back to a more normal blogging schedule. I have some great things to talk about, too!
You can see my entire Palestine 2008 collection here.

Tags: hdr, My Photos, nablus, palestine, travelAt long last, I have finally finished editing all of the photos I took in Paris. Originally, I had about 6500 photos, from which I am keeping about 2300. On my Flickr page, I uploaded a few hundred in my Paris collection. I give you then, some of my favorite photos from Day 6:
You can view all of the Day 6 photos here.
We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging…

Tags: france, hdr, louvre, My Photos, parisI’ve spent the better part of this past weekend plowing through two more days worth of Paris photos. Photos from Day 4 and Day 5 have been uploaded to my Flickr page.
You’ll remember from my previous posts that much of Day 4 was spent riding around the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus and photographing the Arc de Triomphe, the Paris Opera House, and the Moulin Rouge. My favorite photos from Day 4 below:
Day 5, as you might recall, we spent almost the entire day visiting Sacre Coeur and walking the narrow streets of Montmartre. We finished off early that day catching some fire jugglers in front of Notre Dame at night. Here are a few of my favorites from Day 5:
Alas, only one more day of photos to process! Yes, we were in Paris for a little more than 7 days but on Friday, our last full day, I decided to leave the camera in the hotel room. We were just planning on staying in the Latin Quarter and 6 days of carrying 20 pounds of equipment was enough. I’m hoping to get Day 6 photos processed and uploaded by Wednesday. I’m actually looking forward to processing Day 6 because even I haven’t really seen them yet… I left them on the camera because my laptop had run out of space by Thursday.
Also, a few of you have asked when and if I plan on selling any of the Paris photos. The answer is yes. I will be uploading the best of the best to my online gallery as soon as I’m done processing all of them. If you have any requests or inquiries about a specific photo that you might be interested in, please let me know below:

Also, stay tuned as I will be posting a wrap-up of my trip soon which will include some tips for photographing Paris, things I would have done differently, and things I would do again. Cheers!
