The other end of the fountain – HDR necessary?

I read somewhere on the web that the Nikon D800E dynamic range was so great, that shooting HDR (blending multiple images together to increase tonal range) was unnecessary.  This image was one image but edited in HDR Efex 2 so that I could use their tonal range processor.  I believe I have to agree that the need for HDR to get such a large tonal range is probably not needed?

P.S.  I posted the original picture (click thumbnail).  Also, I posted a previous picture of the front of this fountain here.

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been taking a lot of pics with my Leica M Monochrom.  I’m sure I will eventually pick-up one of my other cameras but right now the Monochrom is glued to my hand.

We’ve been traveling for the past few days and will be heading back soon.  Here is part 1 of a series of pics of our baby girls favorite shoes.

Leica’s Masters Shot – Flying… No sweat dad…

Leica post shots to their “master shots” pool daily.  It’s not often that they select ones picture but I was fortunate that they liked my shot “Flying… No sweat dad…“.  Here is my post from the other day.

Endless Fountain

Twice a year, I participate in the AO North America Foundations Podiatry Basic Course.  It’s always an honor to be asked to speak and teach.  It’s a busy few days but once in a while I get time to get out and take pics.  Here is the fountain at the hotel we are staying at, Hyatt.

Flying… No sweat dad…

A couple of days ago my baby girl and I flew to Florida.  I wasn’t sure what to expect but obviously from the picture, she had no worries.
