238 - a sad attempt at HDR

This is what happens when you try to make an HDR (high dynamic range) photo on a windy day without using a tripod.

Two photos in one post as well! I figure two sad photos makes it worth blogging about? I did learn from this that the Gimp edits for combining photos in this way is really not terribly time consuming or challenging. So at least now I have the motivation of knowing I'll be able to do that part of it, in order to take the time to take the photos properly. Unfortunately, now is not the time for carefully taking photos, so until then, you get this. Oh and one cool photo that I'll post tomorrow.

I love a good power lines shot, especially when there are good clouds.

Check out these crazy clouds I saw recently! They looked like a cartoon, like someone had just painted them in.

Exposure time: 1/25 s
Aperture: f/29.0

Tree and clouds. I was changing the brightness of this shot to get a photo with defined clouds, but not make the tree a complete silhouette.
