MDORN Photography Blog
I took an interest in photography after my first visit to the Reno Air Races in Sparks, NV back in the 80s. Since then it's been an on-and-off kind of thing until I got a serious illness.

Needless to say, I've learned a lot. This blog is more for me and those who share the same passion.

However, I do get feedback sometimes that my waterfall shots are not "realistic" or "not true to life". I guess the first thing that goes through my mind is what does "realistic...

Snow Shots

Have you ever wondered why some of those snow photos look more grey than they do white? It's because our expensive fancy cameras are color blind and try to meter everything in shades of grey---18% grey as a matter of fact.

HDR or High Dynamic Range is something our eyes naturally have, but cameras don't. This shot is actually a combination of 7 different exposures from dark to light. I then merged them in Photoshop.
The great thing about HDR is that you don't need a special camera or shoot in a special format (raw). All you need to do is take a series of photos at...
