Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best HDR photos in this photo contest with chances to win a flash LED ring and more. HDR (high dynamic range) basically makes a photo appear closer to what the eye sees as vs to what your camera’s sensor allows. Do not go to the extreme and combine dozens of photos leaving every pixel of the photo exposed as it is easy to over use HDR effects impacting the final result in a negative way.
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Ray Bilcliff for his collaboration as a guest judge: "I am 65 years old and a retired scuba/karate instructor. I retired from scuba diving as a Master Scuba Diver Trainer. And I retired from karate as an 8th Dan Grand Master. I have lived and worked in 32 countries of the world so I class my self as a world citizen and I am currently residing in Florida. I first got into photography many years ago and it is the one love in my life that I will never retire from."
