Concert #9 is closed!
HDR Concert #9 is officially closed for submissions! Be sure to check in with me on Wednesday for the results!
The Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer
In general chromatic aberrations are a pain in the ass, in HDR tone mapped images, they are a root canal! Those out of control Cyan/Magenta/Purple fringes around tree branches and buildings can really make a great image look horrible! The good news, you can control...
A Haircut
It is hard to find a good haircut these days. I had a great place in California that not only cut my hair but offered a free neck massage after each cut. Moving to Missouri opened up a can of worms trying to find a good place. I went to 2 places in town that I now...
How To Fix Extreme Wide Angle Shots
A few weeks ago I posted a tutorial about my 32 bit HDR workflow with Photomatix (I think I said HDR Efex Pro in the tutorial, oops!). Someone made a comment on Youtube about my lack of fixing the distortion. I am not sure if they were being snide or not, but I...
The Pursuit of Dogfish Head!
What is Dogfish Head? Some may call it beer, I refer to it as an experience. Ages ago my palette was quenched by a couple of drops of Yuengling, which sparked my interest in good tasting beer. I am not talking about Coors Light or Bud Light. That kind of beer...

Voted Best HDR Blog of 2012
EverydayHDR was voted the best HDR blog of 2012 on HDR One. I was honored to have seen my blog there from the beginning and to walk away with the tag "Best HDR Blog of 2012" was even more astonishing. EverydayHDR was up against some really great HDR resources....
32 Bit HDR Processing Workflow with Photomatix Pro
Last week I discussed my 32 bit workflow with Photoshop's Merge to HDR Pro. This week I wanted to show one could process a 32 bit file in Photomatix Pro 4.2 and Adobe Camera Raw. Many people know the 32 bit HDR to Lightroom gig pretty well, but it is just as easy to...

HDR Concert #8 is live! Thank you very much Steve Rich for supplying some awesome brackets for post processing. I had a lot of fun with these shots. If you would like to download the brackets and experiment with them you are more than welcome, however, the...
