Ok, lets get over the shock that I'm updating twice in one week, let along two days in a row. I have to say, you know what grinds my gear, HDR (High Dynamic Range). For those of you unfamiliar it is a digital photo technique. I'm ok with some digital photo stuff, yeah its cool I get it, yeah it can make some amazing images I get it. However, don't replace a good shot that takes a few weeks of planning for lighting right time of day back ground, tonal range and many other variables with digital photo software. I get a three exposure photo for high lights, mid tones and shadows. SERIOUSLY though, don't pass off every thing you do as awesome because its a HDR shot. Shit pisses me off. I spent 4 years of my life learning to be a good photographer and use my degree for my job. Best way to get a good shot plan ahead, know what you want and capture the image in camera so you don't need to do post production work. Again time and place for everything, but I saw a artical that talked about three shots that were hard to light and one was HDR, that isn't hard to light that is bracket shooting and using post production software.

Rant complete.
