Summer of 2008 was around the time that my interest in photography began to pick up.  During my 3 years prior, I was too involved with residency to have time to take pictures outside the office and surgery.  Summer of 2008 I went on the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk.  I was just starting to experiment with HDR and here is one of those pictures.  The shot was taken using 3 exposures and I hand held the camera (typically you want to use a tripod).
