For a complete HDR tutorial I recommend you

Here you have 2 nice pics of Fuffy and Lilly, Marghe and Ale's cats :-)

Start Yet Another Photography Blog ... Why should I care?

Rome, Italy - 12:20 AM - in my computer room

The blog setup is done (almost) and the language chosen. Cool, it wasn't that complex.

Now it's time to type.

Nice, but what? Why should I start yet another blog?

Today I am mainly writing for myself (guess how many people will check this post out in the next week?). Tomorrow ... who knows?

About 3 months ago I manage to upgrade my brain software from family photos to a real interest in photography. At the same time I upgraded my hardware from a fairly decent Canon PowerShot A720 IS to the eye opening reflex world with another Canon, the 450D (or Rebel XSi for US friends).

Since then: camera, PP and readings.

Hold on: readings? YES, I told u ... I am getting serious on my hobbies, and therefore back to study! Hardware, shooting techniques and most of all post production. I dunno why, but post production is the part I enjoy the most ... most of all when outside it rains!

I want to make this blog as my "high school diary", where I will note for myself, and friends interested tools and techniques I like, as well photos. Maybe not loads of them, but hopefully good enough to inspire you half a wow.

What do I have on my side? Lot of passion for sure, but also a great,big, living subject on hand: ROME :-) ... Practicing shouldn't be so difficult!
