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!
