Toast and HDR's


I was standing in the kitchen earlier waiting for the toaster to pop up the toast, when it occurred to be toasters haven't changed much in about 60 years. Think about it, our cars are unrecognisable now compared to then, engine management systems, anti lock breaks, traction control, fuel injection etc etc, but your average everyday toaster is still pretty much the same as it was back then. Most still rely on a bit of metal bending when it gets hot to release the toast, hardly earth shattering technology is it.

Come on USA give us some area 51 alien technology toasters!

Todays photo is a HDR (high dynamic range) there a few different ways of doing this, but simply put you combine images exposed for the highlight, midtones and shadows.Here I have shot in RAW format and made 3 different versions of the original, and combined them in Dynamic photo HDR. The idea is to pull back shadow detail and make a striking image at the same time. Wayne
