More stars!!! Many thanks!

	nobody Posted: May 02, 2010 Been enjoying your galleries again. Really good stuff. Explain HDR to a non photographer. Some my not agree, but there really is no place quite like the "D". Thanks for capturing it in all its stark, decaying glory.
	rrhall Replied: May 02, 2010 Hmm HDR to a non photographer...It stands for high dynamic range. A standard image from a digital camera is a single exposure, or snap. Generally the photo is taken at the cameras interpretation of the most balanced way to show a subject. However by taking multiple photos of the same subject, at different "exposure values (a lower EV will result in a darker image, and higher EVs brighter) and then blending the photos together through post processing results in an image that has a much higher range than can be shown through a single image. Basically think of a single picture being limited to a small range, whereas the 5 adjusted images contain more colors, tones, shadows and highlights. Then its just a matter of blending the group of photos together in a balance that still contains realism, yet is a view that is unperceivable by the human eye. Hope that lengthy explanation makes sense. And i agree that Detroit certainly is a great breeding ground for an artist, especially one that can formulate styles and inspirations otherwise nonexistent.
	rrhall Replied: May 02, 2010 Just wanted to say, unperceivable to the human eye "naturally" HDR is a way to make the enhanced vision of a scene available to the human eye, as it could not occur naturally.
	nobody Replied: May 02, 2010 I get it. I couldn't figure out how to do it, but I get it. I definitly like the results.
	rrhall Replied: May 02, 2010 Hmm, do you have control over the Exposure Value on your camera? Thats a neccessity, but other than that its just making sure your shot is lined up and you don't move the camera. The rest is post processing

maestrobruno Posted: May 01, 2010

stanna777 Posted: February 14, 2010
Thank you for rating and commenting my work.... I just looked at yours and I really like it :-)

mecharcoal Posted: February 13, 2010
Thanks for the stars. Nice work!

	fotofiddlerphotography Posted: February 12, 2010 I am so glad I came back and slowed down to have really good look at your work. You are very talented in many ways! As you said to me please do not feel the need to reply to all I propped here..I enjoyed viewing very much!
	rrhall Replied: February 12, 2010 Thanks again, I hope that I can have this relationship with more artists on BC, as it truly allows for more critique and understanding between two artists, and I now really feel like I have someone I could go to on BC! Thanks again!
	fotofiddlerphotography Replied: February 12, 2010 Absolutely! Anytime! If you post more email me as I will not miss it that way!

miskiti Posted: February 12, 2010

tiberiousgracchus Posted: February 12, 2010
Design crosses all boundaries im trying to amalgamate all the disciplines but am far from it at the moment good luck!

tiberiousgracchus Posted: February 12, 2010
thanks for your favs!!

fotofiddlerphotography Posted: February 11, 2010
I fyou will give me till tomm will catch up on all your work. You have no idea how much your critque means to me. I learn so much from the input. Thank you for all the props and stars! I wrote in the forum about the albums todya..Maybe between us we can call attention to the albums..I sugested to TPTB we should be able to arrange the albums..I will be back tommmorrow!

	eldigitalartist Posted: February 11, 2010 I'll have to figure out how to check out other folders.
	rrhall Replied: February 11, 2010 underneath the scrolling images of a user's featured folder is a button that says "More Folders"...opposite the Fullscreen function then you just click the album you want (they display over the featured folder images). There is also an arrow at the bottom right of the pop up screen in case a person has more than 4 additional folders...
	eldigitalartist Replied: February 11, 2010 cool I don't know how I missed it

	eldigitalartist Posted: February 11, 2010 Your black and white folder is amazing. I especially like the fourth one
	rrhall Replied: February 11, 2010 Thank you! I had a lot of it mixed in with my color and had to sacrifice about 200 stars and a lot of great critique and comments to seperate it but in the end i'm happy that it is now all organized and easier for viewing. Glad you enjoyed it

fotofiddlerphotography Posted: February 11, 2010
I want to tell yo uthat I raly enjoyed viewing your gallery. You have alot of talent! Thank yo ufor all the props and stars..You are sweet to give me some tips on how to shoot that ring in book! Happy snapping!

rafe Posted: February 09, 2010
Decided to make the folder huh? Bummer you lost all those stars and critiques!

rrhall Replied: February 09, 2010
Yeah...Well I realized that when people look at your art, the side bar for them to transfer to a different piece, only will include thumbs up to your third page of artwork. So I had a 4th and 5th page of things never being looked at...the only way you could view it was if you waited for it on my profile page where it tiles through. So this way at least all my stuff will be visible I guess.

maiergallery Posted: February 07, 2010
Thanks for the comments and stars. I appreciate it. Like your photography very much.

	garystearly Posted: February 06, 2010 nice shots
	rrhall Replied: February 06, 2010 Thanks gary!

julian Posted: February 03, 2010
Thank you for the kind attention you have afforded my work. Please know that the respect is genuinely mutual. I'm glad bluecanvas is going well for you and that you are here. Best wishes, Julian.

	sherrymcdonaldphotography Posted: February 03, 2010 Your pics are exquisite!
	rrhall Replied: February 03, 2010 Thank you very much!

	bridierollins Posted: February 02, 2010 wow I guess you could say you are off to a good start...great work! I love your tutorial...I take photos mostly for my own references because I do watercolor florals but have fallen in love with my new dslr and what I can do with it as an art tool...
	rrhall Replied: February 02, 2010 Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the tut. And yes dSLR's can provide great artistic joy, and its nice to be in multiple artistic worlds. I myself am considering takin on some painting this spring once i am freed from the grips of college.

	artemesia Posted: February 02, 2010 Love your work! : )

	darkshape Posted: January 12, 2010 this is the way mistletoe grows on trees parasitically :)
	rrhall Replied: January 12, 2010 i have no idea what your referring too...
	darkshape Replied: January 12, 2010 this is mistletoe, a plant growing on different trees
	darkshape Replied: January 12, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistletoe
	rrhall Replied: January 12, 2010 Ok i now understand that you are explaining to me mistletoe, but why are you explaining mistletoe to me? Is this in regards to your work, mine?, perhaps someone elses. Or are you just kindly informing me of mistletoe? Sorry if somethings going over my head I have a lot of activity on this site.

jasonwebster Posted: January 12, 2010
Cool shot.

	markseanorr Posted: January 11, 2010 Hey thanks for the kind cooments. I LOVE your work! I commonly use 3 shots for each HDR photo. Mark
	rrhall Replied: January 11, 2010 what bracket? 2, 1, .3, .7? And with photomatix, perhaps its your camera I just feel as though you get a little more range out of it and umph out of it?

dee Posted: January 11, 2010
I have felt that too.I'm much better with my writing tho :D .You should go for it! :)

	drawinghermit Posted: January 10, 2010 Detroit area never looked so good. I always thought---wouldn't it be great to hang some art work in those old abandoned buildings and photograph them? JM-- Canton
	rrhall Replied: January 10, 2010 Thanks very much. The sounds like a great idea. that I might have to try out.

rafe Posted: January 09, 2010
...also, thanks for checking out some of the other photos and commenting and giving stars.

	rafe Posted: January 09, 2010 Why did you post it 4 times? Good right up...might try out Photomatix once I take some HDR shots.
	rrhall Replied: January 09, 2010 I have no idea, I think i was just being impatient and clicking the save button multiple times so it just registered that way. BTW sorry for just now checking out the other shots, I did not realize that you could make different folders for your artwork, I thought there was just artwork, personall, and collection. I'm not sure a lot of people on here are aware about the folders other than the one that automatically displays. I'll probably organize my stuff down the road, but for now i'm gonna leave it one big cluttered folder.
	rafe Replied: January 09, 2010 I'm kinda wishing I would have left it too. Oh well. Unfortunately I don't think you can transfer the photos from folder to folder.
	rrhall Replied: January 09, 2010 Oh really forget it then i'll lose so many stars. I dunno why but i'm addicted to those things. Blue Canvas stars are like crack to me.
	rafe Replied: January 09, 2010 Well you've received quite a bit. I haven't broke 100 yet, but I'm not out commenting and rating as much as you are.

	fotofiddlerphotography Posted: January 08, 2010 Tutorials are good! This is so good of you to do!
	rrhall Replied: January 08, 2010 Yeah I just have to get the time to type it all out and make sure its snazzy and understandable for all readers. I'm also trying to pick out 5 images so that people can try the processing of it without going out and taking the photo's themselves, so they can be familiar with it and do their own images with ease when they get around to taking them.

	markseanorr Posted: January 07, 2010 Looking forward to yuour HDR tutorial. I love HDR....I'll post a few photos soon. Mark
	rrhall Replied: January 08, 2010 Can't wait to see them, I do love my HDR.

rafe Posted: January 07, 2010
I've yet to do an HDR photo. Is it really hard to prepare it in Photoshop? Why do you recommend Photomatix? I understand the concept of taking atleast 3 different shots so you can get the highlights and the darks and everything, but how do you merge them? I guess I'll just wait for the tutorial.

rrhall Replied: January 08, 2010
photoshop has a merge to hdr option under File-Automate. but i reccomend photomatix because photosho does not fit the images well, and when converting it, you will have to use a bunch of settings such as local adaptation and gamma that to even very experienced photographers, are extremely confusing. i love photoshop, but hdr is all photomatix does, so its more user friendly and yields better results

	rrhall Replied: December 16, 2009 Hey you two, i'm glad with the digital age I don't have to do much to change between Black and White and Color, there is certainly a time for both and thats my artistic statement.
