Douglasville, Georgia resident Jerry Frost, a former Eastern Airlines pilot who heads up the Douglas County Film Commission, recently spent a couple of weeks in Alaska. He and his wife Marge attended their son's wedding which took place about 30 miles from Fairbanks. Early in their sojourn, they visited Rosyln, Washington, the fictional home of the tv series Northern Exposure. As you will see, Alaska is quaint . . . and quiet, at least in this video it is.

Jerry animated this video was with Photodex ProShow Gold software from many still photographs.  He using the High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities of Photomatix software. Jerry's Canon Point-and-Shoot camera was placed on a tripod for each shot so he could use an automatic 3-shot bracketing technique. Combining the three exposures of each photograph, he captured tremendous detail in the highlights and shadows. HDR software exaggerates the range of tones in a photograph to simulate what the human eye usually sees.
