Thread: HDR Photography.

Here's another attempt.



Dunno about it though.

I'm not sure about this image Blurker... I think it doesn't have enough range to be an HDR... or at least to effectively be one I think. I'm no pro though.... it all looks like its in the same color range.... maybe something with a little more contrast?

That is the HDR image posted above... Here's the orginal.



And the HDR.




But I do tend to agree that it's not the best subject for HDR. I thought the movement of the water (between the bracketed images) would be an interesting thing.

Gonna agree here, although after seeing the original the HDR did help the image a bit i think theres better/easier ways to acheive this with this image. The bricks are the only part of the image that are really benefiting from HDR.

OK, starting to get the hang of it I think.

Nice one PM.

This is the kind of pic to use with a wide range of tones and plenty of detail in the dark areas.

Excellent pic.

Here's another. After the 5 or so HDRs that I have processed so far, I am amazed at how unpredictable the outcomes are. Still not sure if I like it though, although some of the results are somewhat interesting.

Thanks Mike. I decided today was going to be the day that I was going to do this HDR stuff to see what I could learn, and you don't really learn anything until you start processing them. I've learned a lot already. Just not sure if I have learned to like it or not.

I agree PM... its unpredictable as to what is going to come out. Plus I'm not crazy about CS3's merge to HDR tool... for some reason I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet.
