Happy Monday to you all. Here’s another Thanksgiving Day pho­to­graph from the rocky wilds of Veauwoo. This is another HDR cre­ation, and one that takes a dif­fer­ent approach to the idea than I usu­ally take.

Ordinarily, HDR is good about evening out the expo­sure of a shot–bringing the under­ex­posed and exposed into the mid­dle, and as a side-​​effect it tends to enhance details, most notice­able in the sky. I think that some­times, the default HDR appli­ca­tion can result in a pretty flat image.

This one was my attempt to put some dark­ness back into the image, while try­ing to con­vey the cold dawn mood. I’m pretty sat­is­fied with the results, enough that I’ll be doing some prints of this series to try and sell in Wyoming.

In other news, my sched­ule is not booked up for this month or next month, and I’m tak­ing on all design work large and small. I’m work­ing on push­ing Clockpunk Studios to the next level, with new port­fo­lio addi­tions, a rate sheet page, and a new refer­ral sys­tem intended to reward my loyal friends and clients who rec­om­mend clients my way.

If any­one has any thoughts about how I should cre­ate my refer­ral sys­tem, please, share them in the com­ments. What kind of money would make you more likely to give out my infor­ma­tion when you hear some­one is look­ing for a designer? Some of you are amaz­ing about this already, but I’m will­ing to sweeten the pot…
