Post Your Best HDR Photo

That's very good Brian, the HDR has created a storybook effect to my eyes. Beautiful home and beautiful image.

Thanks Steve! The house is my in-laws' next door neighbor. I was on their dock for a better view of the sunset. I'm looking forward to sending them the image.

Great work Brian....

Great shot Brian! The HDR is visible, but still quite natural. I like it.
I often think the same when trying to photograph a nice sunset and looking back and seeing an even more interesting skyline.

On another note...I seem to have missed quite a few posts. Thanks for all the comments guys! I also see my photos are missing. Let's fix that.

Thanks Jan. I try to make HDRs look as natural as possible. The human eye + brain together can process such an incredible dynamic range. To me that's the allure of HDR...trying to approximate what we can see.

This picture is from a month or so ago, I shared it in another thread (Here)
but at this time I consider it my personal best HDR



and a couple from yesterday just for fun

I'm not quite at your level yet and it doesn't look very natural (esp the clouds) but I like it a lot. It's made 15 shots (3 AEB * 5 sections) and converted into a pano with PS. It was the stunning view I had from my room during my latest trip in southern France.



Any advice welcome!

Cheers,
S.

Very nice.

I have exactly the same idea of HDR. However I must say that I also like the artistic ones, but I'm just not good at them

That's a great shot! If I can make one suggestion... Try to get rid of the blues on the black car. Especially on the wheels. I personally think it's a little distracting. The rest of the photo is pretty good. Cars sometimes have weird windshields. I have had a weird effect in them on some of my HDR's(sometimes even more visible with a polarizer filter). You certainly don't in this case. The reflection is nice.

Oh come on, don't sell yourself short man! I think you did a great job there. Making a nice HDR isn't too easy, but making a HDR pano is a whole different story. My advice: keep on going!

My latest attempt. I only took 2 of the 3 shots for this one, because the horses where moving too much and I got too much ghosting. I only took the -2 and +2 exposure shots.

I wouldnt say this is my best HDR but I still think its alright. I really struggled with the sky, but I think my composition works
