Yesterday, I took my friend, RC (a.k.a. Rafael Conception from the Kelby Media Group), to one of my favorite shooting spots – the largest Buddhist temple in the US. The temple is part of the Chuang Yen Monastery. Believe it or not, it's only about 1.5 hours from NYC.

RC is in town for the Photoshop Summit, which will be totally cool!

The temple, in Kent, NY, is one of the favorite shooting locations on my Hudson River Photography Workshops.

RC was shooting HDR. His shot is on the left. The shot I took of him shooting is on the right. This dude does not mind getting down and dirty for a shot.

Below (left) is an HDR image I created from a series of pictures that I took on previous visit to the temple. On the right is the average exposure of the same scene.

I hope to see RC again up here! And I hope you can join the photo fun on one of my workshops.

Explore the light,
Rick
P.S. More on HDR all this week at the Digital Photo Experience.
