]]> Not that you would have any way of knowing it, but some of my favorite pictures are of fire hydrants.  I had to go back and look to see if I’d ever posted any, but a little textual mention was all I found.  The only picture of mine I have up at home is a fire hydrant, and then this weekend when I was out at Gas Works Park, I saw this (or rather I had it pointed out to me by my sister):

HDR fire hydrant in Gas Works Park

Camera & Lens   Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT (N/A) & no lens info     Shutter:   1/401 s
Creation Date:   2009:06:07 10:57:58     Aperture:   f/3.5
Artist:   Ari Brown     ISO:   100
Exposure Mode:   N/A     Focal Length:   50 mm

It’s a fire hydrant.  With eyes.  On a beautiful sunny day in Gas Works Park.  I shot this one in HDR using my standard method (Av Mode, auto bracketing at +/- 2 stops, attempt to hold still) and I think it came out nicely.  I like HDR for simple subjects because of the way the details are highlighted really gives a sense of depth and seperation between the foreground and background.  Or because it looks cool.  One of those.
