I second this! This is HDR done so tastefully that even its most ardent detractors couldn't possibly object to its use in this photo.
lil' air. This was a couple weekends ago at Pelican Beach park, an ESA (eastern surfing association) contest. The morning was pretty foggy but eventually the sun came out.

To get the skies to look like that, and also when you take pictures of the buildings to make it look like the way it does, how do you adjust it so they come out like that ?(tone mapping i assume, but what kind of settings?)
edit: this picture isnt the best example, because in this photo the HDR effect on the building is much more subtle than on your other ones, but you get what I mean.

This egret was trying to eat goldfish out of my pond. A bad bird indeed.
I find it is very hard to get the whiteness of this bird to not wash out. I had some other shots that were ok except for that.

Very good accomplishment! Thank you for posting exif data... I have yet to get a good one of an egret without blown highlights. I really like the colors and tone of this photo too.
Egrets can be fun to shoot. I thought I would add one of my favorites taken over Christmas. This was a bit of a group effort between myself and my son. In other words, he grabbed my camera first.
I love the light on his bill.

Changed my mind... I thought my previous shot looked way too artificial-which it did

Both of you, amazing photos.
It's -33C today so I bought a couple of roses to photograph for my project366. This is my attempt to come up with something more than just a picture of flowers. Of course I also uploaded some flower pictures to flickr if you like flowers and I can't get the old poison song out of my head. :-(
EDIT: Wow SolracSelbor! It really sucks to have to follow that amazing photo.

I believe the settings were about like this:
Pretty high up on the Strenth slider - maybe as far as it would go.
Pretty high up on the Luminosity too.
Middle range on the Light Smoothing
Maximum on the White Clip
Maximum on the Black Clip
Thanks so much!

I am just going to post what I posted on your flickr
:"Kevin, your work continues to stun me. I have been wanting to do some simple projects like this,and the water one, but I need to buy some good flashes and peripherals.
I look forward to seeing more from you, its very inspirational!"
I like the way you take simple objects and make stunning images!

Thanks, I want to try to experiment with HDR a little more, I will try that. I am going to the city soon
Great shot... made better by being shot from cat level. And it seems to work having the nose (not eyes) in focus... though I'm not sure why...
Nice to see some natural color and normal skies ...

IMO most HDR images look false.
Meant to say, the lighting in this shot is great, I love the way it emphasizes the texture. Great shot.

Thanks, Father Jack. I know what you mean.
I don't have the means to "practice" HDR anyway, but if and when I do, it will be to try to get more detail in the shadows without blowing the highlights (other than some specular highlights which I don't mind...) to overcome the limitations of digital compared to film. However, I also see how HDR can be used to create unusual and dramatic photographic art images, which can be very beautiful and moody, even painterly and softish. I'd liken it to sound effects in electronic music... artificial, but enabling new and contemporary music styles.
In the meantime, I'm sticking with the "basics." Cheers
