Great shot<a href="http://mdsimages.com/a-friendly-capital-to-explore-austin-texas/" rel="nofollow">s of Austin on your blog</a> and I know what you mean about the "Tripod Police". One of the things that I was most interested to see on Trey's photo walk was where he went with his tripod. Carrying a tripod in England is like carrying a banner saying "Over here Mr. Policeman, harass me.". <a href="http://photographernotaterrorist.org/" rel="nofollow">I'm a photographer, not a terrorist</a>.

As I said earlier, like you, I was mad for it when I first tried it, but more recently, I only use it for those circumstances that really benefit from it (or when out specifically following HDR photographers!). It definitely gets mixed reactions. Most non-photographers I show my shots to are always blown away by HDR, most photographers are critical. I like it, when it is done well (or done the way I like it I guess) and I'll keep at it when the right circumstances apply. Roy, I go through phases with my HDR photography too.

It gave a very interesting insight for those of us that were too far away to participate on the day. Thank you very much for making the video of Trey’s London walk.

To me, 2-3 frames of a landscape is more than enough when using a quality Lee ND grad filter and proper blending techniques in Photoshop...HDR is pure phart IMHO. -Roy Well, for me, the first time I took an HDR photo I was hooked…but after doing it for awhile it quickly lost its charm and today I’m using HDR in only about 1 of every 20 landscape photos I take and even then I only blend about 10% of that HDR photo with the other single exposures.

While the photograph quality was not there by comparison todays work, the compositions always were. I've been following Trey's work on Facebook for almost a year now. While I am not a photographer, I understand the medium well enough to know instinctively that his work is ground breaking and it is an honor to see it unfold. I've actually been after him to do a coffee table book. Thank you for sharing your insights on the experience, the video and the blog! As a kid, I followed Neil Davis’ work.
