First Attempt At Layering

In photography, many times photographers are faced with a choice: either they can choose their settings to focus on the foreground or on the background. The problem is that the choice will leave either some part of the picture washed out or silhouetted. With layering, a photographer can get the best of both worlds. Using the instructions from Digital Photography School and How To: HDR Photography, I tried my hand at layering 2 photos I took the other night.


I would like to say up front that its not the best example of layering, but it is my first attempt. I also was taking the pictures from my car, so I did not have a tripod to stabilize my camera. So please forgive any mistakes you find in the finished photograph.

Random Photographs #5

Welcome to Random Photos #5: Fall Edition! This past week I was in North Carolina with my family, staying at a friend's cabin. The weather was beautiful and the changing colors were gorgeous! I got used to it real quickly and was quite sad when we had to leave at the end of the week. However, I took pictures!
