POD #8




Taken with my Nikon D90 then run through Photomatix.

Saw this fountain a few times on the way to Hillsborough and thought it might be interesting to shoot. The fountain is in some form of disrepair and the normal images just seemed flat and uninteresting. HDR seemed like the way to go here. One thing to be careful about is the bracket function on a Nikon. I was having trouble with the shutter speed jumping down so far that I was getting shutter lag. The key is making sure that the normal shutter speed is higher so when the camera shoots the underexposed image, the shutter speed does not drop below 1/80 to be safe. Unless you have a tripod handy of course.
