The last of three images I captured during a photo walk around the Brooklyn Bridge Park with Trey Ratcliff as part of the #TreyUSA tour. This is 3 exposure HDR (-2/0/+2) shot on my Nikon D5100 with a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX-II (rented) and a 0.9 (3 stop) ND filter. The images were imported into Adobe Lightroom and then combined in Photomatix Pro using an export preset. I applied the natural preset in Photomatix Pro then imported the…
his is one of several images I took during the recent Trey Ratcliff photo walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. As expected the turnout was huge. I'm not going at assessing crowd sizes but I think there must have been over 200 photographers at the event.

The New York City event was organized with the help of Scott Wyden and B& H. The turnout was impressive. It was the spectacle as hundreds…
Math, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Those were my favourite subjects in school. In the schools I attended in Antigua and St. Vincent these subjects are taught simultaneously from Form 3 to Form 5 ( the equivalent of grades 10 through 12). I loved these four subjects and did very well with them. For me, these four subjects are all a continuum of the same thing. Math helps me solve the physics problems. Physics helps me understand the molecular world of…
I love HDR photography. In case you don't know what that is you can head over to Trey Ratcliff's website for an explanation. Here's my quick version. In HDR photography, the photographers take at least two (three or more is better) exposure bracketed and through the magic of software, algorithms combine them into a single image. As you can tell from Trey's photos, the results can produce a striking increase in dynamic range. I capture most of my images for…
