I didn't know what else to call it :)

In Central Park

I understand that normally HD's use three identical but bracketed images. This was one image from which two copies were made where one was made darker and and the other lighter. The HD option used was "saturated."

The Cooper Union College Speech was delivered by Abraham Lincoln on February 27, 1860, at Cooper Union, in New York City

No I don't. It's on the west side of midtown Manhattan near Times Square

I'm not sure at this point if it was the color-enhancing filter I was using or a Photoshop embellishment. I have red-green deficient vision and sometimes over-compensate.

Thanks, I think you are right

Thanks for the thoughts

Today was a nice day to walk

Opposite sides of the same street

Beyond dust covers for books and the like are there obvious uses for word-pictures like this that somehow escape me?

One of two store-window cats around on a sunny Sunday morning at seven in the local pet-store window. But this lazybones cat only looks like it’s stalking the stuffed dog. It’s eyes were closed the entire minute or two I snapped the picture

Thank you. Maybe there is a better way to say it. I just read in Wikipedia that "with high-dynamic-range composite images you get a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques." I guess such photos sometimes can look different from what we expect of photos.

There wasn't much shadow in this image because I took the three pictures in a dimly lit room with no electric lighting. There was just a small amount of window light coming from across the room so I needed a tripod and left the shutter open for thirty seconds. And because the guitar was flat on the floor there were almost no reflections, except maybe in the tuning knobs area or the tiny floor crevice areas.

Oops ... I forgot to mention image stabilization was turned on, which the lens seller claims is worth two stops

Thanks all. I noticed when I got home that by looking through the side window of the store out of the front window (by the bell's handle) a man can be seen in the photo walking on the sidewalk. I read somewhere how the eye and mind edit out these "extra" things when you take a picture.
