September at Dupe

The nights are getting longer and there's a slight chill in the air, but far from gearing up for hibernation, we're ready for the long hard winter ahead. Economic decline? Recession? Yesterday's news. A busy month ahead for Dupe. Places to go and people to meet.

HDR Photography

This is our first attempt at a HDR photo. Taken during my trip to Rome last week, this famous building looks over a square containing one of the most incredible buildings of the world. Built circa 125 AD, the Pantheon is one of those structures which defies the time of it's creation.

HDR photography first grabbed my attention about a year ago when the work of Stuck in Customs was presented to me via Flickr.

Anyway, after finally downloading a copy of Photomatix and taking an appropriate RAW file I jumped into the process (helped largely by a tutorial on Wirral based photographer, Pete Carr).

Whilst I am pleased with my first effort, I'm very keen to become even more knowledgeable on the subject - we at Dupe are confident that there is a commercial opportunity for the technique and hope to utilise our new found knowledge on an upcoming project.
