Another HDR day!!!!

    Managed to get a couple of hours snapping but the weather was poor and dull :(
    Every shot looked flat and colourless so i processed them with Photomatix to see if i could get something decent!!

    comments welcome :)

    HDR is great, I’ve just started messing about with it.

    Did you shoot bracketed shots or did you take different exposures off the one RAW file ? I love HDR myself and am always curious as to peoples different approach. I sometimes think HDR is a dirty word on this site :)

    Thank you 8) The first would be my fav too :D
    HDR is great fun and can help save an otherwise poor shot….

    Hi Mark,
    The first is one shot used 3 times,the other 2 are 3 bracketed shots..
    All other processing(sharpening,levels/curves and B&W) was done later using Canon`s DPP..

    I recon you are right about HDR being a dirty word :wink: lol

    Love the series, Photomatix I believe made HDR a bad word on every photographic forums I’ve been a part of. I wont lie, when i first used it, I loved how it could pull colors out of nowhere. You didn’t go overboard with it and the shots look awesome! Well done.

    I would always rather get a shot from one image but sometimes a scene crys out for the HDR treatment :D
    or its the only way i can get something decent :wink:

    The second would be my pick, the tower is really pretty a real rapunzal let down your hair tower :lol:
    I think it is easy to overprocess HDR and can make it look more like a sketch than a photograph, which is
    why a lot of people dont like it. But it is really down to taste and some very busy shots look really good
    when processed a bit over the top.

    My recent post “Wicklow Mountains” is a five shot HDR but no one has mentioned HDR at all :lol:

    There`s no way i`d have guessed your last post was a 5 shot HDR :shock:
    or even that it was HDR!!!!

    These shots of mine are a dead give away,the sky in all 3 screams HDR :roll:
