I thought a quick photo of some soup cans (bracketing for HDR) would be a piece of cake for today. I would use it for In the Kitchen, one of the topics for ODC, and it would be over and done. Plus, it is kind of a nod to Andy Warhol (and my friend, Kathryn). . .
Well, I discovered lighting was an issue (the cans reflect), stacking evenly (never did get that right and don’t care now!), and then there was the HDR processing. I like HDR more for the fun of doing it than the actual end result, but this time it was not fun! I ended up retaking the photos twice and doing the HDR conversion many, many, MANY different ways. It bothers me that the lettering, which IS in focus, looks out of focus in the photo- but I guess that’s part of the HDR effect. So, as sick as I am of this photo, here it is!

Well, Andy would be pleased. This has almost a 3-D look about it. A nice change of pace for a photo.
You did not include my favorite, tomato soup!
Funny how the easiest idea ends up so complicated. i think the end result is nice though.
Isn’t playing with HDR so fun! Well, at times. I have found it is best to use a tripod when capturing wording or fine details.
