good examples of monochrome

I just ran across this on FlickR. I thought they were great and thought I would post them in preparation for next week's lecture.

The title should be linked to the photos.

Best Laid Plans....


Well, the golf tournament I am working in Puerto Rico has been non-stop torrential rain for the first two days of golf, in which no golf happened... so we are pushed back to a Monday finish (at the earliest). So I will miss the Monday class. Hopefully it will be on Lightroom, so I won't miss too much.
Enjoy this picture before the rains came....

Reducing Halos in HDR Photos

FYI, the book "Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography" by Ferrell McCollough recommends using the 'highlights smoothing' adjustment to reduce halos, and notes that this works best with clear sky shots, less so with clouds present.

I haven't tried this myself, but wanted to pass it along before I forgot.

Back to class soon

Hello there,
So what was accomplished in the past 4 weeks of class? I know that at least 1 class was cancelled due to snow - any others? We have this Monday, March 8th, off for spring break... what is the topic for March 15th?
Thanks, looking forward to being back in class!

Bad Roads

I too found the roads questionable and decided against driving into Oakland. Hopefully someone can let us in on what was covered last night. Thanks much.
