Seeing that I am having some spare time on my hands
I have decided to get back to my Chile photos and conitinue procesing them.

This shot has been tone mapped from 5 exposures taken from one RAW image.
I hope you like it.

C&C welcome

(Canon EOS 400D, SIGMA 70-300 APO, 190mm, f8.0, 1/100s, ISO100, handheld)

No problem Martin.
It’s usualy part of the HDR process.
HDR being High Dynamic Range, a composite of different exposures.
HDR tries to display as much tonal range as possible

The idea is that we need to reduce the amount of tones and contrast that a normal HDR image gives us in order to display it on a screen or print, which are limited in the number of tones they can display.
What tones to pick is decided in the tone mapping or tone compresion process.

If none of this makes sense, blame it on my bad English and have a look here. :wink:

Your South American collection is an absolute joy
to behold Hauke. Wish I’d taken every one of them…

Very Nice Hauke… Although agree with Neil, a well processed b/w would look awesome…. however if it is your mouse wrist that you broke, we can wait!

Really very nice, Hauke.
You have this HDR thing properly nailed, in a way that’s not the least bit thrashy like so many HDR images.
Kudos.
