A few years back, I was standing in a rock bar in Ibiza (the Pinguin Bar, but that's another story) chatting to a friend of a friend about photography. He introduced me to the concept of HDR over a few beers, so I went back home and did some learning. There are many places where you can read about how HDR works, but this is the quick and dirty answer. Cameras can't see as well as the human eye (which is pretty shit hot when it comes to seeing stuff) - a great example of this is during F1 (Grand Prix? Motorsport? Oh, nevermind...) where a car goes through a tunnel - as the end of the tunnel approaches all you can see is a huge white light. Now, when I drive my car through a tunnel and out the other side I don't have this problem, as my eyes kick the camera's arse at this.

Finished baffle wall for garage cinema

More progress today with the baffle wall construction. The main job was to create an MDF face to fit onto the framework - this photo shows the first board cut to size and fixed in place ready to measure up for the speaker cut outs. The way I got the cut outs just right is to reach behind and use a pencil to run along the top edge of the shelf, drawing a line on the back of the MDF.
