    outstanding composition and capture Tom!

  • Tom Gomez replied

    Thank you so much Gerry. I was not altogether happy with any of the three shots that make up this panorama, but when I put them together, I was much happier with the result.

    You are one of the Redbubble elite … a photographer whose work is of a consistently high standard. How you create HDR images is too complicated for me to fully understand, but I can certainly appreciate it.

  • Tom Gomez replied

    Thnak you so much Dave, a wonderful comment indeed. HDR is not that complicated, you just need a DSLR with the ability to do Autobracketing or a camera which can take RAW shots. You can make an HDR from a single RAW image or from several Autobracketed images.
