Post Your Best HDR Photo

[Flaming]

Thanks guys, I think I understand now. []


Don was there no one at the bean when you took that picture or is that one of the advantages of HDR?

It's not a problem. Glad we could help.


When doing multiple exposures, it is best to have the same scene each time - without objects being in some photos and not others because the programs read the pixels within the images to line them up appropriately.

I purposely went there an hour before sunrise to avoid people. The extra benefit was some pretty terrific early morning light. What HDR did for me on this shot was enable me to use a long exposure to capture the night's light, a shorter exposure to keep from blowing out the christmas and city lights and a normal exposure to retain the midtones.

I love the photo of the bean. We are from the Chicago area, and its nice to see it without 50 people taking their pictures in it with P&amp;Ss. Also there is just enough detail to make it interesting without looking too HDRish.


Thanks,


Tom

I keep going back to Jeff's and Angelfire's shots that got this tread moving along. They are terrific photos and wonderful examples of how to use HDR to improve a shot without going over the top.

Well thank you. I do like the more real looking HDR images, rather than the painterly ones. Although certain situations can lend itself to one way over the other. I hope to do more HDR work soon.

Thanks for the kind words.


I must admit that I too generally prefer the results that are more true to life - but I have a few on my website that are a bit more striking!


Such as this one.





This is actually Dover Castle on the south coast of England.
