Abandoned farm house…

First HDR effort here so be gentle! Bracketed 9 shots and lashed them into photomatix (excuse the watermark, still deciding whether I can justify buying it). Comments and thoughts welcome. There’s something funny going on with the sky through the roof on the top right hand side I think. Then again I’ve only used the software once so I must play with it again…
I like this shot. Not somehign I often say about HDR shots, but you seemed to have retained detail in all the right places without making it cartoony looking. Detail wise everything looks good but compositionally I think you could do with cropping a little tigher and removing the whole in the roof at the left side of the picture. This is just an opinions but I think it makes the shot a tiny bit more atmospheric.
I did a quick crop here to let you see what I mean, hope you don’t mind.
I would say excellent use of teh HDR technique though. Can I ask a question. Did you get much noise introduced to the image when viewing at higher resolutions?

Thanks Brian, I wouldn’t be a huge fan of those very unrealistic HDR shots either – but it’s a good technique to balance exposures once it’s kept subtle I think. No real noise at all either – here’s a 100% crop.
thanks for the crop – I think I prefer keeping all of the trough in the frame though…
Cheers,
beefI think that’s probably the best use of that technique-
where there actually is a massive range-You might still have some control over your saturation slider though-
bringing those greens down might make the effect far more subtle…j
Bracketed nine exposures. Wow I rarely do more then three. I may have to try again .
Not a bad attempt there beef. I think I would leave the trough as shot. and try to tone the green down just a touch.Jim
