The Bridge at Oudeschans, Amsterdam, Netherlands (HDR)

The Bridge at Oudeschans, Amsterdam, Netherlands

One thing I love about Amsterdam is the amazing & broad spectrum of colors & textures. To capture this photo, I had to sit on a little side platform that hung out over the water. Just off to the side of this photo is the Montelbaans Tower.

Rembrandt House Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands

My fiancée and I were recently in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and were fortunate enough to visit Rembrandt's House. What was even more amazing was that you could wonder around freely and take photos, rooms were not roped off.

That's how I was able to get this closeup shot, security at the house did not seem to mind I was taking a photo inches away from this work area with paints. The tricky part was that flash was not allowed and the light was rather dim.

Photo of Moat Gatehouse at Castle Heeswijk, Netherlands

It was a rainy, cloudy & foggy day when we visited this stunning 12th century Dutch castle so I tried to leverage the weather conditions to my advantage to create moody and artistic photos.

Photo of Canal "Little Venice" near Zeedijk, Amsterdam, Netherlands

This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Amsterdam and is one of the rare locations where you see water right up next to houses. Some call this particular area "Little Venice" because of this.

Castle De Haar in The Netherlands

Here is a three-shot composite HDR image processed in Photomatix Pro of
Castle De Haar in The Netherlands. HDR stands for "High Dynamic Range"
and it basically takes the best exposure features from each of the three
photos that are composited and sandwiches them together to create this
surreal image.

Photo: The back streets in the North End of Boston

My girlfriend and I were having a leisurely day wondering around the back streets of the North End in Boston. I grabbed this three exposure bracketed HDR series with my Canon EOS 7D. Processed in Photomatix, then LightRoom 3 Beta and finally Photoshop CS3. Tameron 10 - 24 MM ultra wide angle zoom @ 10 MM.

Photo of Steel and Stone Pier on Long Wharf, Boston Harbor

This is an HDR image I took with my Canon EOS 7D and a Tameron 10 - 24 MM ultra wide zoom, shot at 10MM.

I tone mapped it in Photomatix and then converted it to Black and White in Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta. Finally I sized it down in Adobe Photoshop CS 3.

The temperature was well below freezing that day so it was hard to take my 3 bracketed shots in succession but thanks to the 7D's 8 FPS, it came out ok and I did not use a tripod either.
