This week was HDR, high dynamic range.  Three or five photos with one as selected by the camera and two over-exposed and two under-exposed.  Then merge them and hopefully get the best of the lights and the best of the darks.  I took lots of photos of barns, trees, etc.  Just happened to see this as I turned onto our road one evening.  Happy coincidence. 

 The challenge was "decay" but along with the decay we were supposed to show a timeline.  So I superimposed a calendar over the dead leaves.  However, it didn't show up well.  Lesson this week,  don't wait until 11 to work on your photo that has to be turned in by 12. 

 Week 40 was Mother Nature.  I liked the progression of the sumac from green to red with the fall coming in. 

 This week's challenge was a dreamscape with black and white.  So I took a color photo and turned it black and white, then layered it over a copy of the same photo in color that was blurred.
