Red Tree (HDR)

So I was across town at my family’s house this afternoon. Teaching my daughter (and myself) how to Rollerblade. After we finished up in the driveway, I noticed the color on the tree in front of their garage was completely unreal looking.   It was almost like a dream sequence in a movie.  I couldn’t resist taking a picture of it.  I set up the camera and fired off 9 shots with auto-bracketing for the exposure in 1 stop increments.  I then merged these 9 photos into an HDR photo using Photomatix.

These are some of my most prized photographs of all time.  And they were taken with a little pocket camera (Kodak EasyShare)!  These were taken in The Villages, Florida.  A great little retirement community.  The place makes you want to turn 55 just so you can stay.  Really an incredible town.  And as you can see, incredible sights.   In my entire career, these two photos are still to this day my favorite.
