Sometimes you have to push yourself that extra little further down the rabbit hole in order to get something that pushes past the regular work. Creating an image of over 21 frames in order to create this HDR Panorama is the beginning of a new process I have picked up. Of course not all my Images are going to be like this, but they will be coming more often.
I remember when I had first tried an HDR Pano in the parking lot somewhere in Toronto. It started the works of all my panoramas. every one has a very similar edit, and size. Consistency is a great thing, but sometimes that box is meant to be jumped out of.
The new Generation of HDR has pushed the pixels past the norm, and in some cases, into a dream world. Not unlike that of paintings. HDR is the digital gateway to create a scenery the way a person can remember it. Look back at images from 10 years ago and tell me if that photograph does justice to the memory you have of that moment in time. it is possible, but doubtful. HDR is definately a possible solution to this situation.
No push = flat. average image.
HDR push = what our minds want to remember the situation/ picture as.
HDR overpush = high contrast, almost dream state style.
Panorama = non traditional, long format sizing.
Most point and shoot cameras shoot in 5/7 (5x7 inch or 8x10 inch print)
Other cameras such as the 23mm CCD sensors in DSLR cameras (and even a few PnS cams) in 2/3 (4x6 inch or 8x12 inch prints).
Panorama seems to fit 2/4. at least mine do. This means that the image is exactly 2 times longer than it is tall. Or vise verse.
I chose the 2/4 ratio for a specific reason. If you use the rule of thirds, this ratio fits closely.
If you put 3 8x12 prints together, side by side... the dimensions would be:
[12 x (8x3=)24]
12x24 shortened is 2x4.
Although I find it possible to go into the overpush state, I prefer not to. I want to create images that spark memory in people, not create an imaginary situation.
Yet.
Salsa!

UpDown/Partysnake/Conor Cutz
Rusty's held a great bash of people from the surrounding area in the snow scene. Banners galore, the Updown gang and Partysnake tossing mass amounts of free garb, and Conor Cutz showing his finger dexterity, and high energy to the crowd made this night one to remember. Listening in to a random conversation led me to believe that some of the customers that showed up meant business pertaining to partying: "I don't give a shit how much it is, lets get a bottle of vodka to start." That was the beginning. Pushing into the night of constant audio candy, it was only a matter of time before the DJ, Conor Cutz decided he wanted to join in with the crowd. I can't recall when i saw a DJ crowd surf. But he did it, and the crowd tossed him back to his stage where he went right back into flippin' songs. GREAT time! Throw in the oxygen bar at the back, and stickers everywhere... If you weren't here, you missed out!
PS: watching Eric Pants walk around with a bottle of shiraz like he was born with it in his hands was hilarious hahah.

Tremblant
After many weeks of working my butt off, I finally got a chance to get away. Tremblant was the destination with 2 friends. There was NO WAY I was headed there without the camera. Here you will see 2 of the final images that are in the 24x36 inch format. Please note the image underneath the full view images are to show the detail and are NOT prints. Just there to show you what you cannot see on a screen. Best viewed in PRINT. Take a walk down to DUNCANS CAFE to see some in the 3 foot print style :)
