 I liked the HDR image because it enhanced the colors throughout the image by adding details that are spread out throughout the three photos. The brightness of the tree was taken from the overexposed, the building was taken from the mid-exposed, and the sky was taken from the underexposed. Next time I would try to spread out the objects in the photo so they aren't overlapping.

1. Maximize your depth of Field- By changing your aperture you are able to increase your depth of field. This helps you focus on as much of the photo as possible.









TIP 1: Think about the Foregrounds-Having an good foreground helps create a very interesting image because not only adds depth but it helps creates a way into the photo.


TIP 2: Capture Movement-Capturing movement gives the photo a point of interest and it helps create a mood.


TIP3: Use a Tripod- The tripod ensures your camera is completely still while taking the photos. This is needed when a longer shutter speed is in use.
