It’s rare that you will run into something that will really blow your mind, but after I started researching HDR Photography I ran into a site called HDR Japan which really turned me on to high dynamic range imaging.

First, for those that don’t know, wikipedia states the principles of HDR photography as the following…

“Information stored in high dynamic range images usually corresponds to the physical values of luminance or radiance that can be observed in the real world. This is different from traditional digital images, which represent colors that should appear on a monitor or a paper print.”

The images you can see  show the absolute power of high dynamic range photos. Some examples of high dynamic range photography can be seen on HDR Japan here under their Japan photos section. These photos absolutely amaze.

Here’s a series of steps to easily get you started with HDR photography:

1. Bracketing
   Setup your camera to bracket 3 or more images.
2. White Balance
   Set your white balance to whatever the scene requires, but don’t use auto.
3. Mount the camera on a tripod.
   Having a stable base for your camera is very important and means less alignment issues in post productions. If you have a model in the scene, just ask them to hold as still as possible for a few seconds.
4. Cable Release
   Attach the Cable release. You do not want to touch the camera at all. Even the slightest movement can cause alignment issues with your final images.
5. Switch the camera to aperture priority and make your aperture F8 and fire the shutter.

This is the easy way to get started and is the exact method used by some of the internet’s best HDR photographers. HDR photography may not be the end-all for photography, but it certainly is something new in the world of digital imaging that is making waves across the entire photography base. Even the PPA is teaching it now at their conventions!

You may think that you have no control over what the search engines see or do with you site…. but you’re wrong mon ami. Using a simple file created with Windows Notepad (which every PC has), you can tell the search engines - including Google - what to look at and what not to look at when they visit your website.

It’s done by directing the search engine robots with a robots.txt file. With a few easy to implement lines of controls, you can hide duplicate content, admin areas, private folders, confidential pages, and more from the search engines.

If you’re online, you probably have a website or blog. And unless you’ve hosted it with a free hosting service (bad idea), you need a host that can provide the features that a required to run blog software. Many hosts now even offer blogs installed on your site for free. View various web site hosting comparisons to get a good idea of what is available, and what is most affordable and feature rich for you.
