HDR or High Dynamic Range imaging is a technique that allows a greater dynamic and wide range of luminances between light (direct sunlight) and dark areas (shadows) of a scene more than normal digital imaging can produce. It is also the process of taking several exposures consisting of a normal, under-exposed and over-exposed shots, and merging them together into one composite HDR image retaining all interesting details from all three exposures. Here are 9 good tutorials I've found online which may be useful to those who'd like to experiment with it. Most people either use Photoshop or Photomatix to go around doing it. The following tutorials have a good mix of both. See which suits your taste best. 1. Single Image HDR Creation from Beyond Pixels 2. HDR tutorial from a travel photography blog Stuck in Customs 3.

These Japanese are really creative.

Having done freelance for a couple of years, I have to admit that not everyone is cut out to turn their hobby into a business. Even though I'm still striving to learning this business, today I offer 6 important aspects that I feel a freelance photographer should think about in order to have the possibility to succeed. I'm already presuming you have a decent portfolio and know the different between your aperture and shutter, else you'd be better sticking to your day job. 1. Business Mind When you first decide to start earning an income from your hobby, decide first whether you are one with a business mind. Come on. Be honest. If you don't have a sensing of how much to charge for your work, whether your time invest gives you a good enough return, or whether the equipment to invest in gives you value for money which will eventually pay itself off - all at your finger tips when negotiating a deal with your potential client, then please do yourself a favour and think twice. It's a tough world out there with professional camera prices being more affordable. Every TDH (Tom, Dick & Harry) is trying to become an overnight Franco ...

Growing up, I've never been one to excel in school. I always see myself as a medium-sized fish in a large pond. I may not be the biggest, but being mid-sized gives me opportunities that the large ones give up on. So along came the first tough decision I had to make in life after high school. Should I go to college? Or should I have more fun in life by going straight to tertiary education offered by local polytechnics? What kind of education should I go for? At that time, in the early 2000s after the dot com bubble burst, not many people want to jump into the IT industry, but I went ahead anyway - to go with the latter and opt for polytechnic. I knew this would equip me with a skill set which would prove useful in years to come. Like a typical Singaporean, everyone wants to go to University, and that final goal alone pushed many to take up a college education. In those days, only the top 5% of polytechnic cohort made it to local Universities. I've never doubt that I won't be able to make it, but I've just decided to take a different stepping ...

Zhuge Liang is often much respected and worshiped by many, for his great feats in his era as a strategist in the Romance of Three Kingdoms. I like how he combines wisdom, brilliance and strong moral principles together with a tinge of humor. In the past two Red Cliff movies though, I found something interesting about Zhuge Liang that Takeshi played, which is worth mentioning. 略懂. Translated simply means "knowing a little". That pretty much sums up what I've been trying to do much of my life - jack of all trades, but master of none. No pun intended. I really adore this character of his. You know how much fun you get when you're in a conversation you can be part of? A little general knowledge goes a long way in holding a conversation. But seriously, I think it really makes one's life more fruitful by not resisting change to environment, and by finding joy in learning everything and anything. I never say no to a healthy dose of fun or beer, but I guess it's the mindset one needs to set himself in to find more joy in life. You don't need a PhD in everything you do or learn, but just ...
