State Fair

I LOVE the fair. I think I was a carny in another life.
There was so much to see that I decided I would post more than just the one shot for today! Enjoy.

"Distressed" Just Means Old

The patterns and textures are interesting.

Dilapidated House

This place is fast becoming one of my favorite places to shoot.

Android HDR - Automatic

This is from an app I recently purchased called Camera 360. Overall the app is quite buggy and pretty average but it has some cool features, one of which is an automatic HDR (or High Dynamic Range) generator.
It doesn't seem to make a huge difference in the actual captured dynamic range but the color saturation is nice. I'll play with it more as the days go on. It's an intriguing feature.
Below is the original image as the camera shot it.

Android HDR - Utes Game Day

Another HDR image shot with Camera360. I still am not sure it's actually providing any more range. The darks seem at least as dark and the lights at least as light. Clearly it is upping the contrast and saturation to achieve a better image but the jury is still out on whether it represents actual HDR.
Of course, in this situation, there isn't much need for HDR because the light is pretty even and recordable, even for a tiny camera sensor.

Again, below is the image set to the default Cliq camera settings.
