It was a warm, sunny First of November in St. Louis. I went back to the Soldiers Memorial to shoot some more in the lingering Golden Hour we get in the northern hemisphere from November to February. The light was gorgeous. As it turned out, I got into this techie toy thing. I don't use my wide angle lens enough so I screwed it on. Then I started shooting HDRs - handheld, not on a tripod, which is a bit daring. Then I started playing with the results in Photoshop. Photoshop CS 4 arrived a couple of days ago but I still have to learn what's new and different before putting it to use.
WHAT'S SNOOZING: almost all of the United States, since our stupid new extended daylight savings time ended early this morning, the exception being Arizona, which doesn't use it at all. I think that's fine. Japan doesn't have DST and no one feels deprived. Spring forward, Fall back.
TOMORROW: I dunno. Would you be interested in another day of this topic? There are more images. I did get some good HDRs of fall foliage in Forest Park on Saturday afternoon if that's of interest.
BY THE WAY, Virginia of Birmingham Daily Photo suggested I see what these pictures look like in black & white. Not bad. You can see those versions here.
