Gone ..

No, I'm not talking about Steve Jobs ( I think several other journals have covered the general sentiment well enough already). I'm talking about the tree that, until recently, stood in the middle of this frame and that I Blipped twice last week. As you can see this has been carefully framed between 2 of the virtual forest of trees that lie at the other end of the square. So my slighty harsh seeming comments may make a little more sense from this POV. The people protesting were not (for the most part) locals, they were from a large non tax paying commune (a long series of Blips would be required to cover the place they come from). So they would have had nothing to do with the insane cost of not removing the tree.

HDR or Processing ? People keep commenting that some of my over processed shots are HDR which I have always understood to mean 3 or more photos layed together to get the best exposure over a whole frame. Using three similar frames excludes the posibility of moving subjects (they wouldn't just be blurred they'd be in three different places). So my question is; Is HDR an expression to be applied to anything that is heavy on the processing or are some people a bit confused about it all?

This is a single frame spiced up by topaz and de-noised by the same.
