The feelings can linger for many years. I think the image from whatever medium is valid. Graphical imagery is great but it has a long march to shake the spirit of reality. Maybe photography is dying in the corpoate world??? God, I wish I could make it tonight...anyone dropping out?

Just wanted to drop you a line to say my answer is yes but good ones with vision and passion, who understand a clients needs and can translate them into images. Ones who know the art of how to sell a product via a picture as well as those photographers who can make images so skin tinglingly beautiful it makes your heartache.

As far as I can tell, it seems to be a clever little cheat to creating a really dramatic photo. You can get mac friendly freeware readily on the web, after that, all you need is a steady hand and a digital camera with an adjustable exposure setting. You can get your hands on a free trial of HDR software over here— http://www.hdrsoft.com/ —or you could just do what I did and have a look on Wiki. By the way, has anybody got any HDR shots that they've created to post on the blog? Speak soon, Steven. Has anybody else looked into this business of HDR photography?
