It does look a little blurry, it's probably how it's been compressed before posting to here. Might be better to resize it before posting to ebay rather than letting ebay do it? If you did do that then ignore this post completely because I obviously have no idea

Hey Eloi, I've never used the HDR software that's available but I've tried to replicate the effect in photoshop a few times with varying degrees of success. I've only ever tried in black and white and the blacksmiths one I posted last night was my latest effort. 

I think the trees and the foreground have the HDR effect but I couldn't quite get the building quite right.

The HDR effect on phones is probably pretty limited and I don't tend to use it but I do like Instagram for it's mobility, instant upload and sharing capabilities.

I have been so busy this week I haven't had time to get out with my camera.  Hopefully I can crib a few minutes today sometime.  Loving what everyone is doing.  Very creative

empty hoist...half full bottles..completely full participants...hic..... yesterday arvo's messy "Buffalo Lodge" foray

I wanted a pic of the bucket "emptying" onto the kids but our waterpark is closed for repairs.

So the dumping bucket is in fact very empty.
