Mark's HDR Class Notes.

These are the notes and reference material associated with the talk that I gave on HDR photography on Cape Cod in March, 2007.

Note: I have used tiny URL from tinyurl.com to abreviate long strings of URLs.
Note: The NY Times articles are in the NYT archives. It costs money to see them UNLESS you have a library card and you library supports home access to on-line data bases. Try
http://www.semls.org/home/index.html then enter you 13 digit library card number. You could also ask your librarian for help. For the NYTimes you might also have to have a free ID and password.
