Seen in today's entry is the overlook of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea from Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia. To get to this vantage point, one walks about a quarter mile via the town's main street. Eventually, the street makes a sharp turn, and you are treated to this gorgeous view. I set up my tripod + Canon 5D + 17/40 f/4L lens and captured a series of three images, which I then merged into a high dynamic range image (to see over 100 of my HDR images, check out my HDR gallery).

In the month of April, I am highlighting one photoblog/photographer to check out. So far I mentioned JR Photoblog, Daily Walks, A Walk Through Durham Township, and Daily Dose of Imagery, and Moodaholic.

Today's photoblog to discover is David J. Nightingale's Chromasia. It is the second photoblog which I discovered on the internet, after Daily Dose of Imagery. With his photography, David has developed a unique style; many in the photoblogging world have dubbed his work as having a 'Chromasia' look and feel. One of David's first images which created a photographic stir was his image titled 'SG-Blackpool,' in which the 'the dynamic range of the camera just wasn't sufficient to capture the scene.' I believe that photograph was the stepping-stone to high dynamic range photography, which is quite popular today. While it is fairly easy to go over-the-top with HDR post-processing, I really admire David's HDR work. A lot of his HDR work has a subtle feel, such as this this image from Barcelona. Especially amazing are the toned B&W HDR images from Dubai, such as this one, this one, and this one. I encourage you to check out David's work, as his photographs are always impressive. You might also be interested in subscribing to David's tutorials, where you can learn about such techniques as LAB color mode, Toning Colour Images, and Creating Dramatic Skies.
