Premier Micropore Luster

I usually don't get all commercial with my blogging (especially, since I don't have endoresements or anything describable as a following). I'm also ethically getting more charged up about bambooo papers.

But I just have to say that At $5 for a box of 20 8x10 sheets at West Photo (in Minneapolis), Premier Premium Photo Micropore luster is the best deal going in cheap semigloss photo paper. It prints like midrange professional paper at 1/4 the price.

HDR

Ha. Ha. I just read my HDR post from a couple years ago. I said back then I hope never tire of the creative possibilities. I tired almost instantly of hyperreal cartoonish tools that don't really enhance the dynamic range, so much so that I never got past the photomatix trial period.

I do like the possibilities for combining multiple exposures to produce something that looks like a photo, but don't like the automatic results I've seen so far. I'm sure they will come up with software that gives me more of what I'm looking for soon.
