More D3 stuff that I'm just getting around to processing today.

The 70-200mm lens has a slight vignetting in the corners at 200mm on the full-frame camera. I thought it added a nice artistic touch, so I deepened it and darkened it for that photograph. Aside from that, it's pretty much untouched.

Tubes work well on it, too.

To give you an idea of the magnification, that's the rim of a shotglass on the right side of the image.

Thanks! :)

That was hand held and braketed which is very unprofessional. ;) Luckily it worked anyways. Always use a tripod for bracketing and HDR.
 
personally i like not having to dig through a 100 page thread just to find some of the info found in this thread.

just saying.

I second that. Thus my starting of the thread.

:)

Here's my first attempt at HDR. As a reference, the first image is the middle exposure in the bracket. (-2, 0, +2 if my memory serves.)

This is the culmination of my HDR attempt using Photoshop CS2 only, Merge to HDR, and some tweaking until it didn't look crappy.

I'm not stoked about the loss of definition in the two mountain ranges in the BG, nor the ultra-black foreground foliage. There's also a bit of movement in one or all of the exposures as I don't have the IR remote or a cable release.

Either way, I'm curious to see if you guys think the HDR shot is too processed, not processed enough, or what.

i agree the mountains should be more defined, i think that would really make the image, but i think the foreground and sky look great.

i plan on trying my hand at HDR tomorrow evening at sunset since my office is on the beach in hermosa but i dunno if i can stick around work long enough to catch sunset, i have a great (hopefully) shot in mind. as a recreation of this

Congratulations man! Looking forward to seeing a lot of great shots from that D3.
 
Just licensed this image of mine to Schmap.com. It'll show up in the next edition of their Guide To Texas that will be web-published at the end of April.

Sweet! Good to know that if you have the talent the people who can use the images can find you.
