May 7, 2007 HDR Thriller (autumn)

Bergen. Norway (HDR), originally uploaded by AlexEdg. Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

The search word today comes from the weather around here which was very autumn-like this weekend, and continues today. Very windy and kinda cold. And its not like March because the leaves were on the trees making all this noise.

This is a really neat pic that is processed with two techniques...HDR which enhances detail and optimal exposure and "Tilt-Shift", which leads to the interesting miniature effect. Very cool, like the weather. And as usual, it's even better in large.

Ouch. Okay, I dare you....click on the link to the large size of this one and stare at it for a full half minute (without your Oakleys). Bet you can't do it without blinking or suffering a sunburn. Ready?...click here.

Oh, and I discovered quite by accident that if you do this and then immediately close your eyes, you will see the tree in vivid blue. Kinda like what happens at your eye exam when the optomotrist shines that light beam on the back of your retina.
