And this time I had some fun!

Yesterday, I shot four subjects for 5 hours and ended up just picking a bad picture to share at random.

Today, I reshot one of those subjects with an intent to create an HDR image of an object that really didn’t need one.

This is the interior of one of those small rubber balls that bounce like crazy and that the cats love to stalk, pounce upon, chase, and generally terrorize. I lit it with the usual desk lamp and a led bicycle light.

6 exposures, roughly one stop apart, all with the macro rig, and HDRed with Photoshop 5.5. This is the built-in ‘Photorealistic’ automation.

Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, reversed, on 49mm of extensions, ISO100, 1/50th, 1/25th, 1/13th, 1/6th, 1/3rd, and .6 seconds, @f/3.5.

All in all: Good Times.
