First few HDR efforts

[Wile E. Coyote]

Just starting to mess around with HDR C&C would be appreciated


Millenium Bridge in Gateshead


Penshaw Monument in Washington, just outside of Sunderland

Show up fine on my screen, tried F5?

Yeah their being a bit temperamental for me as well, I can see them if I follow the links to the images but their still not showing here properly. Try re-hosting them somewhere like Imageshack.

They look good though, I'm defiantly going to have to try some HDR images myself.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Will swap them over

Sorted now

There is always some thing about HDR which I don't like some times it works but i think its just over used in the wrong places, not saying your works bad, looks really nice infact just a passing comment that HDR is over used some times.

They are good, slightly over saturated, especially the grass in #2. Go over it with the desaturation brush at about 20% opacity

Wow they look great, looks like you had a pretty damn good sky that day already so I wonder what HDR really added

The sky had some colour in it when I took the shot, the HDR processing just picked out more detail. I've processed the same pic as none HDR and its hard to even get it looking half decent without a lot of effort

how is HDR done, is it possible to do it using my fuji s9500?

The first one is great, lovely use of HDR - not too OTT and well framed, I really like this one.

Second one is a teeny bit over done on the grass, it looks too luminous. I think HDR should allow the different shadows and highlights to compliment eachother, not all stand out like a ballet dancers whatsit.

Good job though, expecially for your first goes!

I know what you mean about the second, might have another go at it

Never seen Penshaw Monument looking so good

Nice work!

The first isn't bad. The reds are slightly overcooked and there's an odd colour cast on the whites / greys. That can happen with HDR sometimes. The 2nd is nicer but as others have said, the greens are a tiny bit ott. I think theres a bit of wasted space on the left too.

For a first attempt they are good. I like em.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Thanks for the comments guys, will have to work a bit on the processing I think, might get there in the end

Really like the first, anychance of a large version for desktop

With the second, like the idea and the comosition but agree with the above comments regarding the grass being to in your face. Also from the link the monument looks out of focus to me??
