This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
June 20, 2008; Day 49.
Today was the Summer Solstice, stage 2: Longest Day. Here in New Hampshire we’re getting more than 15 hours of daylight. What kind of subject would you pick to represent that? Beats me, although probably not a photo that shows the actual separation of church and state! This is Concord's capitol and a church who's name and denomination I forgot to pay attention to. The grounds at this church are pretty and filled with birds…I’ll have to come back. For this shot, I wish that bench in the distance was a lot closer.
This is an HDR composed from 3 exposures. The camera is resting on a concrete post. The aperture is f/11 and the shutter speeds are 1/6s, 1/25s, and 1/200s. If it wasn’t past midnight already I would piddle more with the Photomatix sliders to smooth out the light better.
Post-Photomatix processing: Unsharp Mask (20-30-0) and crop (~10 percent).
