Welcome. RICHARD POLOM photography blog. I’m going to start by expressing my true opinion on most of the HDR work I see on the net, to sum it all up, I really don’t like that particular effect on photos… well, not when its overdone and especially on street photography. I’ll go as far as saying that HDR could never be street photography to me, it just makes everything look like a painting or a very detailed pencil work, in my opinion it defeats the purpose. I’m not saying that my word is golden, it just feels and looks that way to me, that’s all.
But like with many things in life and especially food, if you don’t try it how can you say you don’t like it? True, so I tried it and although I didn’t enjoy modifying my pictures to that extent it actually made me think of another way to incorporate this effect/look without losing to much of the original essence. Feel free to express your thoughts on this manner and of course on my photos. I have to admit though, it was fun to play around with it and especially find a happy medium. PhotoShelter Blog.

DIYPhotography.net | Photography and Studio Lighting. How Can Photographers Stay Creative? A few days ago, I ran out of space on my Dropbox account. It wasn’t intentional but I received a pleasant reminder from the service to upgrade. While the service is exceptional (one can access files from any connected computer, iPad or iPhone), it’s much too easy to simply throw all kinds of data up to it and then forget about it. So, I looked at the upgrade options and felt that the 50gb at $99/year would make most sense. Then I wondered what I had “dropped” into that box. Most of the files were old – images I had shared with family or friends and were no longer needed. So, I went on a mission to simply prioritize and delete those large files one by one. Did I now feel like I needed 50gb of space? All of this was inspired by a blog post and video that Musea posted called “29 Ways To Stay Creative.” 29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE from TO-FU on Vimeo.
One of the ways the video suggests one can stay in the creative zone is to have a clutter free desktop. How do you stay creative?
