From the photographer: "I don't know if everybody knows this already but I discovered it just now by myself how to produce a hdr from a single jpeg: I created two other images by editing the pic with -50% contrast and +30% and -50% brightness in this case and processed the three images with Photomatix as usual. Well, the single picture was simply overexposed in the white areas of the lily due to the high contrast ratio, so I think this is a suitable method to eliminate this problem.

Nature: Being bewilderingly beneficial.
" If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. "
..........Albert Einstein ( 1879 - 1955 ).
.....German - American theoretical physicist.
..........Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate all around the world - due to Colony Collapse Disorder.
.....So whats killing the bees ?
..........It could be pesticides , or genetically modified food, or global warming, and its recently been discovered that bees won't fly near cell phones - the electromagnetic signals they emit knock out the bees navigation system.
.....It is estimated that one third of human food supply depends on insect pollination.
..........No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
...............Worth thinking about ? .............................. 08.08.08
