"Art From My Eye"
Photography
Justin Dwyer, Eureka College junior
September 3 through October 8, 2010
A free artist’s reception will be from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm September 3rd in the gallery. The public is welcome, admission is free.
The works are from a collection of images Dwyer has taken over the past several years and include portraitures and photos from nature. The works include high dynamic range images taken in architectural gardens. The HDR process involves taking three photos of the same image at different camera settings then processing them through software to give them a kind of three-dimensional look.
