Can I Increase My Traffic For August?
There has not been a great deal of updates for the past few days and the main reason is, I just have not been near a computer for which I can sit in front of and write out blog posts. Why you might ask? The reason is simple, I have been enjoying the beautiful summer weather we have been receiving here in British Columbia and I also have not been at home for the past few days. No comptuer and no Internet made our mini-vacation great!
With a new month the plan is fairly simple, write new blog posts, reflect on previous months statistics (at a glimpse, there has been yet again another increase in traffic and the trend is for it to continue to go up), I have plans for another little contest for people who visit Tyler Ingram dot Com and it will be very simple, I also have to talk about my adventures to the Gulf Islands of BC and why I dislike having a Privatized ferry system.
Helliwell Provincial Park - HDR
But I will leave you with one thing as I get ready for writing some new posts that will hopefully tickle your fancy. The above shot was taken at Helliwell Provincial Park on Hornby Island in BC and yes it is an HDR (high dynamic range) photo and I am quite happy with its result. I have to go through the photos I took and see what other shots I might be able to get decent HDR results from so stay tuned!
Don’t forget, I’ll be holding a contest this month which will be relatively easy to participate in and I hope you will help spread the word about it once I get the details in.
Great shot Tyler. I wondered how that effect was created. Is it three photos you use?
I took 3 photos using -+2 on the exposure then used Photomatix to ‘combine’ the photos and then play with the Tone Mapping to achieve my desired outcome. Photos were shot in RAW with the camera on a Tripod and a remote shutter cable to reduce any motion-blur that might happen.
Great shots. What kind of parameters did you use in Photomatix?
I think you can use “Stumble.com.”
I tried that but since I’ve submitted my site multiple times in the past I can’t stumble it myself anymore. Care to give it a stumble though?
