Posterized image of covered bridge, Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, MA

I was killing a little time before “the big game” today, so I tried out a program a local photographer recommended for high dynamic range (HDR) images called Photomatix. Unfortunately I’ve been pretty harsh over the years in deleting all the “bad” exposures. Now that’s coming back to bite me, as those “bad” exposures could help make some nice HDR images. Anyway, I ran across a couple shots of this bridge which I’d saved but would never display because the lighting was so bad and decided to see what could be done. In the end I decided to push this one pretty far and the result is this posterized-style image.

I found a pretty cool new app for the iPhone called Camera Bag. It applies some special affects to photos taken with the built in camera. Here’s a couple samples.
