Trying some HDR

Unread post by [SiC] »

Can't really get the hang of it.. Would be nice with a FW for my D7D that allowed wider bracketing :mrgreen:

Taken just outside our yard. Used FDRTools Basic (FreeWare) to create it using three exposures.
It is not 100% sharp which I reckon is because I had to turn the exposure comp. knob...

Any tips or suggestions are welcome :D

That's not fair!! :D
Especially when I've been taking photos of the stormy weather over the Bosphorus early this morning with different exposure values just to develop some nice HDR images...I realized that I may have to set the exposures manually as the baracketing on the A100 only allows -1,0,+1.

I like your photo, especially the grayish-blue effect that seem to be suspended over the thick green of the grass...it's reflective somehow as though the moisture/mist was barely touching the grass...
Also you must be living in a very beautiful place, nature is very lushy and abundant... and vast... :)

Thanks for sharing

I've never tried HDR so thanks for the link, I'll have to give it a go.

I like the colours in the sky. HDR images I've seen in magazines seem to really "pop" and I wonder if yours is a bit too subtle? This could of course be a good thing as it's probably easy to make the scene look un-natrual.

I think that's quite eerie actually, nice shot :)
Only tried HDR on buildings myself, I'd imagine a landscape like that is a bit trickier somehow.
