Daniels aim was to perfect the technique of Digital Blending, which consists of manually blending multiple exposures of an image in order to obtain the maximum dynamic range, while trying to keep a very natural look and worked to avoid the common mistake of ‘overcooked’ HDR images. This slight element of the surreal, or hyper reality often found in painting became Daniel’s goal.
