I chose his work because I enjoy how he think outside of the box to make iconic images his own. Rather than just adding color, he adds context and tells a story. Like the one above, his work makes you think beyond the picture and ponder on the back story of the characters.

HDR

This picture was taken when there was a slight breeze so it created this cool effect with the palm branches. It made them almost look like they are glitching or faded. This particular photo I took is one of my better shots. I say this because it has good composition and editing. For example, the roof creates a diagonal and trees catch the eye with the red and green highlights. Also, the clouds look authentic. When I was looking for clouds to use in this shot, I couldn’t find any that were subtle enough to bring a certain level of authenticity. But after an hour of looking, I found the right ones. In total, I am pleased with the editing and shot itself. I believe if makes for a good HDR photograph.

This photo from the internet show good HDR. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Dynamic range refers to the difference between the light elements and dark elements in a scene. A high dynamic range would be with both very light and dark dynamics, as a low dynamic range would be with extremely light or dark elements.
