And finally, my first manual HDR try:



As i already told, I'm still learning and getting used to the Sony gear. Some shots have some technical flaws of course but ... those flaws will turn into learning lessons with the experience and time

Pedro, 1st, 3rd and 4th are great shots.
The second one is too saturated, not to my taste. (sorry).
In the last shot, everything's great except for that lipstick (or whatever) on the foreground.

Well ... every time i go for a "photo walk" i try to put something i learned into practice ... and sometimes i forget some ( many ) details. the empty bottle was on of them. And the best part is that in the end i picked it up and put it on the garbage. I could have done that before i took the photo.

Also, there's some problems with some skies. Although the sky was very confusing due to the cold, there's a repeating pattern in one of the photos that i forgot to work it out. I will try to blend some of the exposures i have here to take the best of that sky

Lots of errors. Could have been good photos but are all messed up due to the lack of detail attention

But, since it's been only 2 months taking photos ... i know i have to experiment and get these details better

What empty bottle? What lipstick?

[PedroDuarte]

No more empty bottle/lipstick I was able to remove it from the photo eheheh

Nice pics.

What empty bottle? What lipstick?

[Birma]

Great shots Pedro They are all very striking images. You disguised the "lipstick" really well .

Funny cause #2 is my fave...

[Ewannawe]

I also prefer #2. But as my Grandfather sometimes said the world would be a queer place if we all liked the same things.

[Greg Beetham]

Quite dramatic renderings, no. 2 is easily the best in my book.
