    Another HDR attempt, this one I took into Photoshop after Photomatix,
    there was an awful blue caste to it, again this was three shots -1 to +1 and
    it was extremely shady in this particular area.

    Lovely scene and very natural looking. I tried for something similiar today but not HDR. They were very contrasty.

    Thanks again Miki :) I am starting to think that HDR is the way
    to go with very contrasty scenes, I will keep at the processing to
    try to improve on that.

    Jenny,
    Lovely picture I don’t normally like HDR but this is very natural looking. Well done.

    Thanks very much Steve, my purpose of the day was to find autumn
    colours! Seems to be a fine line between finding autumn leaves on the
    trees and on the floor :)

    You cant tell it is HDR which is good, as others have said, very natural. Well done :)

    The image works well… and as has been said is nicely cooked! It would be good to see the correctly exposed original here Jenny… just to get a feel for the extra dynamic range or detail in the HDR.

    Thanks to the two Garys :) As requested here is the middle shot of the
    original, extremely dark and with the blue caste.

    Is that Clonegal Castle?

    No Solus, its Kilmacurragh Arboretum in Rathdrum, an old country house
    now a ruin, but the grounds are something special, the Botanical Gardens
    took it over and have been restoring it, gradually bringing it back to life with
    a huge replanting programme. A lovely place for a wander.

    Thanks Jenny, just wondered because there’s a very similar arch in the grounds of Clonegal castle also.
    Nice image btw.

    Thanks for posting the original Jenny… so this HDR thing makes a real difference then!

    Doesn’t it just! I am thinking the blue caste came from the yew trees they have a funny bluey green colour
    to them, it is only when I see the HDR and the original together that I realise what a difference it does make.

    I did minimal tone mapping, just very slight adjustments which I think is the secret to not overdoing it, though I
    do like the surreal effect you can get also, suits some shots.

    Thanks for all the interest :)
