For this photo adventure I headed west of my place. I didn’t have to travel far to find some great locations to shoot. I found this really cool old red caboose. Then I came across this scary looking old house. This is where I shot some 6 and 9 exposure HDRs for a change. I normally shoot 3 @ +2. -2 and 0. This time I shot -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 gaining an extra 4 stops of light while capturing more tonal information. Then literally 2 miles down the road I find this old farm with an nicely rusted/faded old Chevy truck. On the way home the sunset was turning out to be pretty nice so I grabbed a few random shots. Be sure to click all the thumbnails. Comments welcome.

I finally added some more high resolution wallpapers to my Hires Wallpapers Flickr Set. These images are all 2560×1600 (With the exception of #16 & #21 which are 3200×1200) before the border. Feel free to crop/resize and use as your computer’s desktop image only.

Feedback most welcome.

Enjoy!

It was simply TOO cold to go too far yesterday. So I decided to just drive around town instead.
