The weekend and holiday shots.

Hyperreal in St Paul

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:

A view along the Petaluma river

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.
