Photos by Grant Hodgkins, shot in HDR at the 2013 LA Arboritum "Serpents In The Garden" show with a Nikon D50 and a post-production technique called "tone mapping" - which combines multiple photos taken over an interval of several seconds into one photo, thus explaining the "oil paint" look.
Eddie - looks great! The reflection in the door. The clouds. The leaves on the ground. Looks like a storm is coming! Congratulations!

Well this is interesting. I just went to those botanical gardens in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Very important to understand "Photos by Grant Hodgkins"
I only do about 1,000 miles a year but it's running like a top. I wanted to organize the Palomar Mountain and Stone Brewery beer run this year but outdoor dining was closed until very recently.
