What a difference a bit of technology can make! The photo above – similar in composition to the one on the Church of the Nativity website – seems to leap off the page.
I shot this particular photo over the weekend using a Canon PowerShot S90 compact digital camera – a camera that I’ve been raving about over on my personal blog. This particular photo was shot in what’s called HDR – High Dynamic Range. With HDR, the camera is mounted on a tripod (in this case, very low to the ground) and three images are snapped – each with different exposures. Some special software is then used to combine them in a special way which results in the photo you see in this post. You can see some other examples of HDR on the Canon S90 here.
