HDR Experiments

[mrgubby]

After looking at thumpers HDR shot which combined three seperate shots to give excellent results I thought I would give it a go the cheats way

I dug through my library to find a RAW shot which had light/dark extremes

All conversions were done using Elements 3.0 & PhotoMatix pro (trial) at default settins with no tweaking and saved to .jpg at max quality

Original , straight conversion from RAW :-

I then did two versions , one with exposure set to -1 & the other +1

Dark :-

light :-

and the result came out as this :-

Not a dramatic result as thumpers but does bring out quite a bit more of the detail from an 'old' shot
