First attempt at HDR

So this is my first attempt at HDR (High-Dynamic Range) Photography. Which is merging 3 or 5 images  of the same scene but at different exposures together. Generally you would use the bracketing setting to capture the images at different exposure, but I don't have that setting so I had to manually adjust the exposure for each shot.

Please leave a comment letting my know what you think.

So I was looking through some pictures I took when I actually found some picture of my youngest nephew. I took these in the airport before they left.

At a Cemetery

If you have time I would really suggest that you go to a cemetery and just stroll around. I went to one across the street from the laundry mat while my bedding was washing and snapped these pictures.

Sadly, when I was there the lighting was pretty bad but I did what I could.

My Nephew!!!!

This past week we got to visit with my sister and her family because finally came down from California before they move to Alaska for 3 years.  My brother-in-law is in the Coast Guard and got stationed in Kodiak, Alaska ( I am so looking forward to visiting them there :) So anyway, while they were here I setup a little studio in our kitchen.

So that is my little nephew, Anthony. He is a 3 year old ball of energy. It was so hard to pose him. He wanted to go play with the dog, eat cookies, play the piano, run around the house, and go upstairs all at the same time it seemed. I think it took me like an hour and a half to get these pictures. =\


Which ones do you like best?? Which ones don't you like?? Why don't you like them?
Criticism and comments are very appreciated!!!

I was going to do a shoot with his little brother but the day they came over he was too cranky. 

Oh! By the way, the backdrop and bear are mine. xD

It was SO hot that day, I had to beg her to pose. lol

Thought?? How could I have made this better? Anything I shouldn't of done in posing her??

Criticism is welcomed!!

This was taken at George Ranch, in the Prairie Home. That was a terrible day for photography. The sun was SO bright and there were no clouds. But I tried to salvage some pics. 

Now that I have been looking at, if I had laid down on the floor I think it would have had a better angle.... Why couldn't I have thought of that when I was taking the picture... :( Oh well. 

Any other thoughts?

I have a few more from that day but they will be coming later. :)

I like the texture of this picture. It was kind of a random picture. What do you think?
