[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The sun was setting and the sundial stopped working for today, it is a decayed sundial at the edge of a small park square in the city.


This is an hdr from 2 exposures, at 1/60 and 1/640, which i then merged in photomatix. I didn't have a tripod but luckily there was a flat bench in front of it so i stood the camera on the back of the lcd screen rotated at about 90 degrees to get the vertical shot, then i carefully changed the shutter speed without moving the camera and shot another one.

Now for bracketed shots i'm using the chdk scripts which enable this option in continuous mode, so i can shoot for hdr's with more exposures without the risk of moving the camera accidentally.

the scripts are for canon powershot cameras: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


pp work: leveling horizon, merging to hdr in photomatix, darkening the sky at the top with a levels gradient, usm.
