My first attempt at HDR

adamph · 28 Jan 2008 at 09:34

These are my first attempt at HDR shots... I haven't had a huge time todo any PP on them so they are a little off colour in places. However as I said its my first attempt and need to spend a little time improving my skills for future shots.

CC welcome (not too harsh please

)

I like the first one , second one has a distracting object in the bottom left and the bottom one looks to be leaning too much (though it may just be me).

So 1st for me

ah yes that was a fence that I was positioned behind, I have some shots without it in my selection but they didn't come out as well as the one with it in I thought. Meaning to crop it out! Thanks for the comment

#1 Shows excellent technique, very subtle

#2 is a great scene, the sun poking out and all that works really well.
#3 would have been better with the whole tree in view, when are you buying that 10mm?

Nice try. I am too learning to dabble in HDR. The two HDR images I have done are not as good as yours.. The ones you have done are very subtle and thats what I like. The 3rd one is the better of the three, although it could do with a little straightening.

All in all good effort..

I am getting the 10mm when I have paid back what I owe to Visa.. *cough*

Thanks, I like the third one as well, though I am not sure if it needs to be de-saturated a little.

Hope you dont mind I have had a little play with you 'tree' pic. I have not rotated the image.

All I did was Levels, Turned contrast down a little, upped the saturation.

I don't mind in the slightest. Love what you have done to the sky in it

Droolinggimp, i think with you're headed a little too-much towards 'luminous grass' territory with that edit. The original was going that way in my opinion.
