When we look at a scene with our eyes and then take a photographic image we are often disappointed by the resulting image not looking as we viewed it. Ie there is often a loss of detail in the bright or dark areas. This is because our eyes have a resolution power three times the processing power of the most sophisticated camera. By using the HDR photographic technique and capturing multiple photographs at different exposure levels of the same scene and combining them to produce one final photograph, the resulting image has a broader tonal range and no loss of detail in bright or dark areas.

I hope that my images of Wivenhoe convey the beauty of this idyllic Essex village by combining the various elements of careful artistic composition, optimum lighting conditions and precision processing. My desire is also that the variety of Wivenhoe scenes captured on camera will provide a lasting documentation of the village Wivenhoe for future generations to enjoy in this ever changing world of ours.
