Day 30: Blueberries

Day 30:  Composition, Rule of Thirds

So here we are -- the last day!  I wanted to go out with a bang, but I used up all my inspiration yesterday.  I sure am glad I saved the easiest technique for last! Tonight I had to fall back on my dinner (no, not literally, silly!).  I remembered that the dodge tool is my friend, and got rid of the black shadow on the front of the focal blueberry.  I know the color isn't quite there, but I did my best adjusting the jpeg.  (Not sure why Elements will process the DNGs sometimes, but not others.)

Day 29: The Old Red Courthouse

Day 29:  Post-Processing, HDR

I thought I'd do an architecture photo to make up for the one that wasn't architectural enough.  Of course, I had to apply another technique to it for it to count, so I did HDR.  I'm not at all sure I have the hang of HDR yet, but I do know that the result looks much better than any of the three originals.  It would be a whole lot easier with HDR software.  ;)

This is the Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas, TX.  It was finally retired as a courthouse a few years ago, and is now a museum.  It's located right down by Dealy Plaza, home of the infamous grassy knoll and 6th floor book depository.
