What a long and exciting presidential election year. I have had the privilege of photographing many of the candidates who ran for the office of President. It was a great year meeting many of the candidates and getting photos for many news agencies. I am involved in local politics in my community and had the opportunity to stay close to home on election day and photograph local political elections.
A person I have had the honor of serving with on our local township board is Paul Amman. Paul has been the Atlas Township Supervisor for the past eight years. Paul lost the primary election and ran a write-in campaign. Unfortunately Paul did not win his election. I was hired by a news agency to photograph Paul as he took out his last campaign sign of the evening.
The top photo is of Shirley Jones who won the spot of Supervisor. Shirley is pictured on election day with supporters.
Unless you are a photographer or graphic designer you probably do not know what HDR is. HDR stands for high dynamic range. It is a process in bringing out stronger variations in light and dark areas within a photo. I am not someone who likes "over processing" photos. I personally think that every photograph can use some "tweaking" but I do not personally like them to be overdone. HDR is something I have been avoiding but recently found a few uses for it. For example in commercial photography such as portraits of bands etc there is a use. Above are a few random photos that I did some HDR editing to.
