Ktula spurred my curiosity about HDR (High Dynamic Range) with a link to series of amazing HDR photos in flickr. These photos pick up the most intense colors spectrum one rarely sees in natural themed photography. And the details brought up by the color depths were simply startling.

So I started playing around with the software with series of snapshots taken in the office. Not sure if it only works with outdoor open sky images, both photo sets turned out rather disappointing. I have yet to figure out the key to good HDR images. At this point, Photoshop is still my preferred color manipulation tool.

Personally I think good landscape and animal photos are the hardest to take. John Hyde manages to capture the moment at its peak, aside from his skillful composition, filter and color treatments. His photos have such qualities that almost every picture is a story of its own. I really dig it.
