EXPLORE - February, 2009
My first HDR - I have a lot to learn about this technique, but I was so pleased with this result that I purchased the photomatix s/w.
The pastel colors and soft focus give it a dreamy quality...

another "trial" HDR (with the photomatix water mark as I'm still using the trial version and deciding whether to purchase it)
This is amazing technology - the sum of the parts (3 photos) is much better than any of them individually.
Update: After fooling around with a few more HDR trials I bought the s/w - it's wonderful and I'm hooked on HDR (but not that overprocessed surreal stuff that over-jealous technologists generat....)
I love the mission architecture - bricks, plaster, wooden beams, arches and of course, the beautiful lush gardens.
