I was out and about this past weekend gigging with the band at the “Thinking Outside the Squeezebox II Festival” in St Paul, Minnesota. Between sets, I had a lot of time to take photos. Here are a few talent shots that worked well with faux HDR processing in Lightroom and Photoshop.
The amazing Corn Mo:
Mad Mags (fearless leader of The Mad Maggies) and Jim Jacobmeyer:

Most of us have our own personal style–how we present ourselves in public. This guy has his “casual” style knocked.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 105mm. 1/20 at f/5.6, ISO 1600.

If you happen to be in Petaluma and want to chow down on the best tacos in town, here’s the place–Taqueria Santa Cruz. We were there a few day ago and I grabbed this shot while waiting for our order.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm at 47mm. 1/20 at f/4.5, ISO 1600.

I took this shot a couple of days ago while out for a walk along the riverfront. I processed it as a “faux HDR” image–it’s just one tweaked image, not multiple images merged into one. The enhanced dynamic range of the scene is much closer to what my eye saw when I took the shot.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 105mm. 1/320 at f/8.0, ISO 100.

What can I say? I LOVE beer! Unfortunately, at the gig we played on Wednesday there was none. Fortunately, after the gig, the closest brew pub just happens to brew some of the best beer on the planet. GOAL!!
