class="wp-caption-text">Old Well (Chapel Hill) - © John Kivus, 2010</p></div><p>I recently went into the <a
href="http://www.unc.edu/">Carolina</a> campus to take some HDR pictures of the <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Well">Old Well</a>. Though I did get some HDR shots that looked good, I decided to further experiment with them. There was one particular shot that I really turned up the intensity on. After I created a really intense HDR, I then applied <a
href="http://www.topazlabs.com/simplify/">Topaz Simplify</a> to the photo in order to get the look above. I immediately made the resulting image the desktop on my computer. Since I&#8217;ve had the image on my computer (about 3 weeks at the time of this writing) I&#8217;ve had a fairly decent amount of requests for the image either to use as a desktop or as a print to frame. Since I&#8217;m following <a
href="http://twitter.com/treyratcliff">Trey Ratcliff&#8217;s</a> model of trying share my images under Creative Commons, I&#8217;ve created versions of this image in popular resolutions to use for desktop images on computers, cell phones, and iPads.</p><p><strong>iPhone</strong></p><p><a
