Blenheim palace

Nested in the rolling hills of Oxfordshire, the Blenheim palace is home to the Marlboroughs, a dynasty of powerful war strategists, such as John Churchill, and his descendant, Winston. The bucolic parkland, landscaped in the 1760's, surrounds a Baroque palace of impeccable taste, and makes a perfect day trip for a HDR photographer.

The British post

The summertime is the ideal time to cruise around the English countryside, or sneak in one of Leadenhall market's pub in the city for a refreshing pint. But wether you chose the relaxing meadows of Oxford, or the buzzing ambiance of London, the British tradition resplends, defining the space and its inhabitants. Following the tradition of this blog, these HDR photographs attempt to restitute the intemporal charm of the subjects captured, for your viewing pleasure.

This abandoned boat floating in the shade on the peaceful waters of the Thames river in Oxford was patiently waiting for a HDR photographer to imortalize its fading glory. The choice of a HDR photography allowed the sharp contrast between the sunny background and the dark banks of the river to be reduced, thus resurrecting the glow of the precarious embarcation, for your viewing pleasure.
