Hey,

Im new :)

Just a quick photo from the other day, recently got a E-300 dslr and tried a HDR shot of Hylands House in Chelmsford. Was one RAW shot and changed exposures in PS.

Comments please.
 
Doesn't really look like HDR to me (I do prefer subtle HDR). Maybe post up the RAW and let someone have a try? :).
 
Yeah it was pretty subtle...

Any ideas on hosting the RAW? Sorry if silly question but am i able to resize it and still keep it a RAW? Ive always shot in JPG.. :confused:

Thanks

Host it and we can download the RAW?
 
The building looks slightly blurred to me and the blue thing in the woman's hand stands out too much. I love the sky though and the composition seems good to me.
 
Quick Attempt, someone will do a much better job im sure.

Think i prefer greyscale though.

Looking at it, slightly noisy & maybe overdone. But you get the idea :)
 
I can give you more details if you like, but this is basically what I did:

Open the RAW in Photoshop with these settings

White Balance: Auto (Temp:7500; Tint:0)
Exposure: 0
Shadows: 5
Brightness: 50
Contrast: +7

Then go to:
filter > sharpen > sharpen

Save this image as a TIFF (JPG would work too), call it 0.tif.

Re-open the RAW and change the exposure to +1 (all other settings should stay as they were) and save it as +1.tif. Re-open the RAW again and change the exposure to -1 and save as -1.tif.

Then just use those three files in Photomatrix to generate the HDR. This isn't a brilliant attempt but all of the above is useful to know (you'd get better results from 3 exposures) :):
