My quick go a HDR

My quick go a HDR (Warning BIG pics!)

All taken from one image, +/- 1 or 1.5 exposure.

Pitty about the sky in some of them, but I just love the blue water :-)

Wow, most of them have come out really well imo, really like the top 2

Any chance you could also link to some less heavily compressed versions? The artifacts are annoying and probably killing some detail. In terms of the pics I love number 4, don't suppose you have a 1400x1050 wallpaper sized version?

Hows that?

All except number 2 are full 8.2MP shots, so I can upload 1600x1200 versions or bigger

For me having the bigger images to look at makes the blueness of the river in number 1 and 2 look less odd, also I find the contrast between the clouded and clear gound flows better.
I enjoy 2&3 a lot more at this res, in fact it's a toss up between 3 and 4 for me as to which is best, PNGs of those two at 1600x1200 would be nice (email in trust if you wanted to mail them).

Im uploading them as they are 8/9mb each :confused:

To be completely honest, the first ones don't do much for me. The last few sunset ones really do though. That last sunset one is stunning.

Sunsets are great, they look totally realistic - the colours are beautifully captured.

Some of the others I must admit seem to be done for sake of it as they do not have much variation in dynamic range.

Well done on those sunsets again though, how exactly did you get to the final results?

Glad I revisited this thread now

Had a wee lookie on my work monitor this afternoon and thought the images of the valley in your first post looked a bit soft initially.

Back home and they look so much better now, your sunsets are also stunning

True I guess, not easy finding an image which really works well with HDR.

Ummn, found the image from last year, +/- 1 the exposure in photoshop, fiddled around in Photomatrix and that was it
