Downtown Aiken, SC - HDR

My beautiful and pregnant wife  and I spent some time this St. Paddy's Day weekend Downtown Aiken, SC. Here are two shots I captured with my basic HDR workflow.

High Country Olive Oil - Aiken, SC. (HDR)

Visited a great shop while shooting some photos in Downtown Aiken, SC. High County Olive Oil is a hidden gem. It's a premier olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting bar and store. They have searched the world to find the best and freshest oils and balsamics for you to enjoy and use in your kitchen & recipes. The staff and owner was superb. The tasting bar was fantastic as was the flavor(s) of the oils/balsamic's/mustard's/preserves.
If you're ever downtown Aiken, SC. Check it out.
