With the new puppy, it’s hard to find time for photography. I took an hour last Monday evening for a short visit to Jackson Park, where all the tulips are out.

I have experimented with HDR (High Dynamic Range) pictures before, but I was never really happy with the result. This time was different. The picture of the park below comes from the combination of 7 exposures (from -3 to +3 EV) in the program ‘Photomatix’. It renders well the feeling from that day.

The other pictures were taken normally. Since it was late in the day the light was very warm, which is good for pictures. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from this visit.
