This year I’m participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge again. I thought it might be fun to share some of my photography instead of always my words. They say a picture is worth–well, you know what they say 😉

I will try to keep these blog posts short and sweet, while still offering a little bit of insight into each photograph, just for fun.

H is for HDR

I don’t do as much HDR as I’d like (my cameras don’t autobracket so I have to use a tripod to do it “right”) but I do enjoy playing with HDR when I can 🙂

This was the first HDR photograph I created that I liked and it’s still a favourite. The subject is a ‘blooming tea’. It took me a long time to find a composition I liked and by that time the tea had been steeping so long it was really dark, so I actually emptied it out and re-filled the cup with cold water LOL I love the fact that if you look closely at this picture you can totally see my entire kitchen in reflection 😉

I love the fact that this is a black and white photograph which is (accurately) entitled ‘Blue Bottles’. Because :-p

I took this photograph when I was on a writing retreat at Strawberry Creek Lodge. The experience was amazing and I think the photograph is magical:

Pretty, no? 🙂
