Cool night shots

I had a chance to do a little real-estate photography again and once again our super-cool evening shots were requested to blow the socks off potential buyers of this great property (hint hint..hahah).

One of my friends from the Christian Photographers Guild told me about some interesting high dynamic range photography techniques and I thought I'd give it a try and behold...a terrific creation!



I'm excited to get to use this more with future commercial work!
