Green plant in a shadowed pond
Believe it or not, this picture has been taken in the Lausanne cemetery not very far from the place where the picture called End of a summer day has been shot.
At first, I planned to shot an HDR based on 3 RAW. Afer a few minutes on the spot I noticed that the water is moving, so 3 RAW can’t make it. So I use the one RAW technic. In this picture, I concentrate my attention on the green plant which is in the shadow. I’m pretty happy with the result.

The “Market Place” of Neuchâtel
Based on one RAW picture this is another HDR experience. This place is in the middle of the town of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
With the “one raw technic”, I don’t have to care about the “ghost effect” that you see sometimes in HDR picture. For the technical viewers, the exposure time in the EXIF data is wrong because of the image manipulation.
First HDR picture
My first try with the HDR technic. This picture is based on three jpgs, I will try in RAW as soon as possible. If you don’t know what HDR is, just read the PDF file available on this page.
