I have to say, picking HDR after daylight savings time ends seems like a cruel joke. I do my best HDR with outside scenes, but these days I leave work after dark, leaving no time for any daylight photography.
But I still managed to find a subject that I think works pretty well. This old school record player is a piece of working art at my place of employment. I noticed it a few weeks ago and was thinking of a challenge it could be used in. I ended up grabbing my camera around lunch time and going to get this photo. I didn't have my tripod so I bumped up the ISO to 1600 and used high speed continuous shooting to get my shots.
