Take at least 3 different digital photos of the same subject using exposure bracketing so that you have at a minimum, one underexposed image, one properly exposed image and one overexposed image, as shown below. (You may use more than just 3 images for this assignment.)

Photo Editing Assignment, part 1
Using one of the HDR options (Photoshop Elements Photomerge to Exposure, Photomatix Essentials, Photomatix Pro, etc.) create a single HDR image from the three photos you took for Photo Assignment, part 1.
In your description of this image on your blog or other online location, please indicate what program you used to create the HDR image and any other details you think should be included.
Please find the settings that I used to create the above picture in Photomatix Pro below:
Photo Editing Assignment, part 2
Using any of the image enhancement options (such as levels, watercolor filter, etc. in Photoshop Elements; Topaz Simplify or other Topaz filters, Smart Photo Editor; or any other type of photo editing tool, create an "enhanced" image from a photo you have taken.
In your description on your blog or other online location, please indicate what program(s) you used to create the enhanced image, what specific settings you experimented with and any other details you think should be included.

Photo Set One
===============
Take a pair of digital photos of the same subject using two different ISO settings that demonstrate how different ISO settings can affect the way the photos turn out. As we discussed in class, when the ISO is changed from 100 to 1600 when you are using one of the automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes (Program mode or Aperture Priority mode), the shutter speed is automatically changed. In the examples below, the change in shutter speed is quite dramatic and the high ISO setting allows you to get a usable image.
Description: Here's a shot of a Louis Vetton display case at Saks Fifth Avenue in The Galleria at an ISO of 400.

Take a pair of digital photos of the same subject using two different white balance settings that demonstrate how different white balance settings can affect the way the photos turn out. For more information, refer to the information on white balance in this week's module.
Description: This is a photo that I took of a mannequin that I saw at Saks Fifth Avenue in The Galleria. I thought it would be a great subject to try out the White Balance adjustment on my camera. This was the "Flash" setting.

Photo Set Three

If your camera allows you to change metering modes (the original sliver Canon Digital Rebels do not), try taking a pair of digital photos of the same subject using two different metering settings that demonstrate how different metering modes can affect the way the photos turn out.
Here are four (4) different shots of the same UH "Parking Meter" using different "Metering Modes". Not sure about the difference in any of them.
