I am a great believer in community. Google has recently launched its communities feature and I really like it. I received an invitation into a community of Boise Photographers last week. One of the community coordinators put out an invitation to have an HDR photowalk downtown on Thursday night, and at the last moment, I decided to join in.
I enjoyed meeting some of the people in the community that I hadn’t met yet and had a ton of fun shooting things downtown at night. Here’s a few shot from the set. I’m noticing that I’m leaning really heavy on the processing of the night HDRs but I just don’t feel like it jumps out until I’ve completely killed it. Hopefully I’ll find the sweet spot soon.

These ones are of Cara Dempsey who was kind enough to join the group and pose for a few shots.
