High Dynamic Range Digital Photos: Eureka Nevada

Eureka Nevada provided some great oportunities to shoot some High Dynamic Range Photos.

The ride to Eureka was brutal. What’s the deal with 40 to 50 MPH head and cross winds? Riding in wind usually isn’t that bad but, when the wind is blowing dust clouds that cut your vision to less than 100 yards it can be brutal. In fact when we finally made it to Eureka a guy told us that he saw a Honda Goldwing get blown over and the rider almost got ran over by a motor home.

So much for the ride, let’s get back to photography. The small towns along highway 50 are very unique and interesting. This area was settled primarily by miners and is sparsley populated. Eureka however has done some nice restoration and reminds me of Virginia City, only without the crowds. The Texture and tones of the store fronts are interesting and colorful. Having the opportunity to photograph this little town made the ride worth while. Before dinner we rode the streets looking for interesting lighting and composition. After finding what I was looking for,I took a few digital photographs to process and create some High Dynamic Range Images. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.
