Here is one of my first feeble attempts at HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. This is a hot topic amongst us photographer types. I now consider myself a photographer, not because I'm any good at it, but because I seem to be at the point where I can throw out the jargon at such a rate that unsuspecting bystanders eye's start to glaze over as they scramble for way to make their escape. Anyway, the events that transpired for me to capture this picture are much more entertaining than the image itself.
I was bored the other day, so I told my wife I was going to go test out some new glass (photographer jargon) by going on a photo walk (photographer jargon). The city is building a light rail line through our town and it is nearing completion. So I figured it would be cool to go down and capture some digits (photographer jargon) of their progress. Since it was a weekend, there was no one in sight. So I whipped out my camera kit (photographer jargon) and started shooting. Just as I got a dozen or so images in the can (photographer jargon), I found myself face to face with not one, or two, but four (4) transit police. FOUR.
Well, after a friendly exchange of information and a quick criminal background check of myself, I was on my way back home, never to be seen at the train station with my camera again. Sheesh! What has this world come to? It's a good thing I changed my mind about going out to the airport to photograph Leer jets! Guess I'll just stick to shooting landscape, sunsets and things I want to sell on Craigslist.
