Day 141: Birthday Party Cheesecake Jelly Bean Boom

Well... for the end of the world, today sure was nice outside. Of course, I was stuck in work for most of it. But I stepped out when I could and actually took a few decent ones, I think.

The first one isn't anything that special, but I really like how blue the sky came out (and that it was all done in camera; no post-processing this one).

1/200 sec. exposure at F/8. ISO 100.

This is of the same tree (outside of the Book Nook), but composited in HDR.

That one isn't bad, except for that one bunch of leaves on the top right. But even still, I guess that gives it a certain strangeness quality too.

This next one is also an HDR composite. It's of some buildings that run across the street from the Book Nook.  I like this one the best of today's photos. It's not that it's great, but compared to a normal exposure of this same shot, it's much, much better.

I had one more, but looking at it a little more closely it's a little blurrier than I originally thought. So I'm keeping it to myself. Neener neener. 'Night!
