HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography - post your HDR

[DoFoT9]

Thanks for the compliment. Per your advice, I took "Pedro" out using Picknick. I tried taking out the statue, but it would throw the framing out of balance.

thats better the statue does sort of make it look cool, im more a background type of person though.. have everything in the distance and nothing up close. i still love it though

I'm curious to know, what y'all thoughts are on bracketing without a tripod.

I've done this on many occasions. All it takes is plenty of light so you have fast shutter speeds. Some of my best HDR's were handheld. All of the ones I have posted here are done without a proper tripod. The Austin skyline ones were resting on a railing and the Savannah ones were all handheld.

The pic below was done handheld. When doing touristy stuff, it's inconvenient to bust out the tripod. But stability is important. I find a place to rest my elbows on. This one I was leaning on the bridge that Gustav Eiffel supposedly made. Though I've had pics without any elbow support and it's usually the first shot that becomes blurry as I stabilize. The HDR ends up looking funky on the edges and on finer details.

I'm pretty new to photography only been doing it for about a year now, but I'm getting the hang of some of the subtle details.

Taken for an assignment at uni. I wanted to show the scale and detail of the Cathedral... I think I succeeded?

Don't know if I have done this right, very first go at HDR. Well actually only had a SLR for less than 24 hours.

Does this HDR attempt look alright?

 

[Ruahrc]

Well everyone is going to have their own opinion to if it "looks right". Personally I think it looks awful, sorry. The colors are not even reality and actually look inverted.

I would recommend first trying to shoot HDR and making it look realistic, so that you get a handle on the controls and what they do. Once you can do that, you can take more liberties with the tone mapping to fulfill a particular vision.

This is not meant as a put-down but rather just some honest criticism. It's just a first attempt we have all been there!

One option that I have done many times is to convert one RAW file to three TIFF files and process. The results are practically indistinguishable from three RAW's.

Scale and detail? Yes! But I feel like I am tipping over when I look at it... Slightly straighten it out so it is perfect. Looks great though!

I agree completely, it doesn't look right. I shall have another go in the near future and try and get it right this time.

Hello people. This is my first post ever on this site. I've been steering away from HDR now, but here are some of my older shots. Enjoy!!

Do you have the bike in 1280x800?

what's your email? i'll send it to you!

Here is an HDR/Panorama. 3 exposures at 3 positions (9 shots total).

Absolutely breathtaking! Almost seems fake. Any way you could release that as a wallpaper? It is a stunning image.

That's a pretty sweet G35 you got there.

I'm pretty sure it's a 350Z....

It's a 350z. Not mine though but I'll pass the compliments to my friend =)

It's really a 370Z. Nice ride.

Nope 350. Wish it was a 370z. The 370 wasn't announced until late last year. This 350z is a 2006.

My 1st HDR, 3 images using Photomatix, C&C appreciated.
The sun was not really there, so less "pop" to the trees.

This is my backyard last week prior to raking leaves, birdhouse is 36 years old, I made it with my Grandpa when I was 11.
