dirt

 This is the first winter I have been driving and it has not been enjoyable. my car is terrible in the snow, aside from being too low to use a lot of the time it was killing me how dirty it got when it did, so following a well deserved wash the first time the temperature was high enough not to freeze everything I was off down to Broughty Ferry for some well deserved photos! Unfortunately it got pretty dirty on the 4 minute drive down but oh well couldn’t be helped; here is what I took…



  These last photos are done as HDR; it stands for High Dynamic Range and is basically a process of combining photos of different exposures. It gives you the control to boost the detail in the shadows (creating impressive reflections) while keeping highlights underexposed for a dramatic looking image. If enhanced normally this image would either have the car exposed properly and a dull boring sky or the sky would appear bold while the car would be darkened to a silhouette, I find this technique most effective with cloudy sky’s and love especially how the last one came out.
