I'm 20 minutes away from leaving Hornby so I thought to put up one more picture before disconnecting from the Internet. I don't really hate HDR as my parody poster indicates, because I do think it is very useful for preserving information in otherwise too extremely exposed pictures. With the Garry Oak tree above I bracketed seven times and then used Photoshop's merge to HDR function. I didn't use all seven exposures. The merge tool allows you to take away exposures that don't seem to make a difference; that is what I did.

I didn't get all my shots in the one-and-a-half days my 30D was working. My friend Adri came to the rescue a day later with her XTi and I was able to get a few good shots with that. More later once I return to Vancouver.
