Leo Laporte, Hard at Work

This photo below is a 5-exposure HDR. It was shot with a Nikon D3X (see my Nikon D3X Review) in aperture priority. The five shots were at -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2. Of course, Leo was moving around betwixt the exposures, so there are some tricks to fix that. It’s all there inside the free HDR Tutorial.
But you don’t need a big expensive camera like that to make HDRs. I have good/better/best suggestions on my HDR Camera recommendations page.

I read a lot over the last couple of weeks on Dieter Rams and his work for Braun. Inspired by his 10 principles of good design, I created my current desktop design (Fullsize). No more noise, no more clutter and no more distraction
I work on my primary screen (Dell SP2309W). The secondary monitor (MacBook) is used to display my most important information (date, time, weather, gMail and iTunes) and often abused to watch a movie while working.
On the primary screen, I removed all element from the menu bar. Dropbox required a little trick and I haven’t yet successfully removed Spotlight’s icon. The dockbar is empty, hidden and only displays running applications. I use Quicksilver to launch any required application/ Mouse is so 2007. Perhaps 2008.
On the secondary screen, I used icons from gosquared, geektool and Bowtie for displaying iTunes.
And I did similar things to Firefox.
