My turn at HDR - Church

[GSXRMovistar]

Apologies to all those that are sick to death with HDR styled shots, but I wanted a try at them so tough!

A shot I grabbed this morning on the way to work, only had a spare few minutes so didn't really get much of a chance to grab many images or play with settings.

Not sure just now about this second one so haven't bothered to clone the cars at the front out yet.

And for reference this was the source imagine

Quite good that. The top one looks like you're in the US with that look.

I quite like them both. The way you've processed it is very subtle, so it doesn't look overly stylised like some HDRs. It's almost like you've used a layer mask to blend two images of different exposures.

I really like the second too. Very impressive. I can't help but think that there is still some blue present on the van in front of the church.

I can't help but think that there is still some blue present on the van in front of the church.

Yeah. If you isolate that part, I think it's the stripe down the side of the van that has the blue in it.

the origional shot doesnt need any HDR treatment, it would benefit more from just a levels and shadow/highlight enhancement

i know your only trying out HDR but i think learning when to use it is as important as how to use it

 

[GSXRMovistar]

Yeah. If you isolate that part, I think it's the stripe down the side of the van that has the blue in it.

The image is growing on me now so if I get any time this evening I'll clone out the two cars like I did in the first one.

That last one is spooky.

Where is that, it looks like Blackheath?

Indeed it is.

 

[Brum Man]

Indeed it is.

Haha, thought so. At least I can recognise buildings 10 minutes walk from me

And yes the last one looks very creepy!
