HDR of an old truck.
This photo was taken at Duran Sanitarium Costa Rica. It was created in 1915 by Dr. Carlos Duran, it operated as a hospital for tuberculosis patients for many years as well as an asylum for the mentally ill. In 1963 it was closed since tuberculosis was no longer an issue and the mentally ill could be treated in bigger and better hospitals.
It is considered one of the most haunted places in Costa Rica. Commonly seen apparitions in the Duran Sanatorium include a nun, who is said to have been a caretaker when the Sanatorium was a hospital for tuberculosis patients.
Another frequently seen apparition is that of a little girl, said to be the daughter of Dr. Carlos Duran himself.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Duran Sanitarium Costa Rica. It was created in 1915 by Dr. Carlos Duran, it operated as a hospital for tuberculosis patients for many years as well as an asylum for the mentally ill. In 1963 it was closed since tuberculosis was no longer an issue and the mentally ill could be treated in bigger and better hospitals. It is considered one of the most haunted places in Costa Rica. Commonly seen apparitions in the Duran Sanatorium include a nun, who is said to have been a caretaker when the Sanatorium was a hospital for tuberculosis patients. Another frequently seen apparition is that of a little girl, said to be the daughter of Dr. Carlos Duran himself.

Time

This photo was taken in March 2016, I don't remember the exact day. I went to visit one of Costa Rica's volcanoes with some friends. When we were returning home one of my friends mentioned this place so we decided to go and visit it. It was around 1pm when we arrived and it was a sunny day.

Lighting

It was taken during a sunny day with available light.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7000, it was the second time I was using it. I used the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera.

Inspiration

I have seen a lot of HDR photos of cars, I like them a lot but never had the chance to photograph one until that day.

Editing

I took 3 pictures of the car. One at -1EV, another one at 0EV and the third one at +1EV. I merged the photos using Photomatix and applied one of the effects provided by the software to make the rust of the car more vivid.

In my camera bag

Nikon D7000, Tokina 100mm f2.8 macro, Nikkor 18-55mm and Nikkor 50mm f1.8

Feedback

Watch videos on YouTube about HDR photography, you can learn a lot from there. Some of them are very good like the ones from B&H.
