Fill ‘Er Up!
Close-up of gas pump at Jones Grocery in the Township of Lewisville, North Carolina.
The Price Was Right
Sure, at 61-1/2 cents per gallon, why not fill ‘er up? Unfortunately, it’s too bad this gas pump at Jones Grocery Store is no longer in operation. Before closing, it looks like one of the store’s last customers drove away with 11.2 gallons of gas, which came to about $6.89. Today, those same 11.2 gallons cost about $22.00. But enough of such discomforting economic trivia!
Before we leave Jones Grocery and head out to photograph elsewhere in Lewisville, I thought I’d give you some resource information on High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, since I used HDR to create all of the Jones Grocery Store photos I’ve shown you thus far. Who knows, you just might want to experiment with HDR in the future.
In the NEXT SECTION, I’ll not only give you some specific resource information on HDR, but I’ll show you the last two photos in this series covering Jones Grocery. Of course, I’ll continue stopping by Jones Grocery and will add more photos to the store’s photo gallery over time.
Ben Willmore – Photoshop and HDR Educator
There are many resources available on HDR photography. One of the foremost Photoshop and HDR teachers is Ben Willmore. Everything Ben does is superb, and he’s a great communicator and teacher.
Visit Ben’s Willmore’s website at Digital Mastery, and you’ll find information on his HDR training DVD and his teaching schedule. You can also view a photo gallery displaying some of Ben’s marvelous photography.

The HDRI Handbook
The HDRI Handbook by Christian Bloch is another HDR resource that you might want to consider. The author does a good job of explaining the various facets of HDR photography. The book contains lots of sample photos and diagrams, as well as a DVD containing tutorial files and other content. Here’s a link to the book on Amazon.com >> HDRI Handbook by Christian Bloch.
