Rio Grande

Left the Rio Grande almost 5 days ago now in which I've moved 3 times since then, so fallen behind a bit on pictures. Life as a nomad certainly has its struggles :) I took the following pictures using bracket photography. While at the River.

Its all new to me, but in general what your doing is taking 3 pictures of the same shot at different exposure levels. My camera has a feature that does this on it own with the push of a button, and it a pretty cheap camera. Even new cell phones have apps for this.

As I understand your eyes are constantly adjusting to the light. Camera's get one exposure to the shot, by taking 3 pics and combining them. Your getting a better picture of what the eye actually see's, or at least that's how it was explained on one website. Heaven only knows how many times I've said it looked a lot better in real life.

 This and the next one are a bit more surreal, but cool what you can turn your pictures into.

To combine the 3 pics I used Photomatix essentials which can be found here, or if your creative you can probably find it for free :) Thanks for visiting. Good Day!
