Yes, sirree, Mr.Bush, 'tis HDR and you can see a slight halo around the trees in the background I was surprised how fast it took me to process this one; not a perfect HDR but it gives people an idea what we saw

Being a non-photo nut had to google what HDR was. Interesting - too bad I have to buy and extra plug-in to make it work with Aperture.

I wonder if some of the unbelievable beautiful aquascapes photos you see are processed in similar manner to capture the entire dynamic range. Doesn't Amano use professional film rather than digital pics (all those photo expeditions has him using an antique looking camera)?

Phil, HDR is indeed an interesting(and exciting) field. It is even possible and sometimes preferred to use point-and-shoot cameras and take the images in JPEG. You just vary the exposure compensation and remember to use tripod. It does take some getting used to but the results can be fun and rewarding.

"He captures minute details of nature found at site on extra large size films (up to 8x20 inches)." So he's is still analog.
