High dynamic airstreams

After a week long traveling hiatus, we are back in business! I spent the weekend in Marble Falls, Texas for Kate and Brian's, now the Bedford's, wedding. It was beautiful. All of the wedding festivities took place on a ranch in nearby Round Mountain. Probably the coolest part of the ranch wedding setup was the herd of airstream trailors that were the various wedding parties quarters.

As the sun was going down I decided to try a new technique. It's called high dynamic range or HDR photography. Back in the day with film this was a very complicated and complex technique, but these days with photoshop automation it is not. I took three photos of this airstream at three different exposure values; under exposed, properly exposed, and over exposed. Photoshop can then merge these three photos to get a high dynamic range of colors and detail in the light and dark parts of the scene.

How appropriate to try high dynamic range on an old aerodynamic airstream trailor.
