Down by the Henry Moore
“I went down to the Henry Moore
Skated all in the Square
The moon above my shoulder
And the ice was in my hair
Alone but never lonely
That’s how I like to be
If you want to have fun
Like a rock’n roll bum
Don’t think the worst of me”
Murray McLauchlin, singing about Toronto, where he made his first music appearances. The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto has a fabulous collection of the massive sculpture of Henry Moore.

HDR in Cityscapes
HDR (High Dynamic Range) has become a very popular technique in processing files, especially landscapes. I find it is also useful in city and architecture images, as the geometric shapes and blocks of color seem comfortable with the strong results of HDR processing.
This is an image of the Eaton’s Center in Toronto. I used the popular software program Photomatix Pro to process it. This technique can turn out garish and surrealistic if you are not careful. I normally reduce the default settings to keep it under control. In general I prefer an HDR image without the typical “HDR look”.
My typical Photomatix settings might be as follows under the “Detail Enhancer” method:
Hit the default button and then reduce “Strength” to 65, “”Color Saturation” to 40 . Occasionally I will make a separate TIF file with the “Tone Compressor” method and use it as a layer over the”Detail Enhancer” TIF. Adjust the layer opacity as you like.
