ill just post some experiments here.


HDR

[stine]

hey there! lovely HDR, i really like the contrast between warm and cold tones. one tiny thing i noticed is that the horizon isn't straight. i'm really niggling when it comes to that, so maybe it only destracts me, but i couldn't help mentioning it.
other than that i really do like it. was it hard to keep the tripod calm? i could imagine, because it looks really windy...

[MLlanes]

i didnt even use a tripod for this one =)

also, i didnt even notice the horizon, good find.

I really like this - it has a very natural feel. It's one of the fewer HDRs that don't "scream" HDR from the first moment you see them.

The horizon is bugging me a bit, too, but that's easiy fixed.

More experimets, please

I find it quite nice when it needs to be pointed out that something is a HDR shot.
How did you process this? Various separate shots or one RAW file which you gave separate editings?

One thing that bothers me is that strange lilac glow on the trees... where's that from?

[MLlanes]

its from 3 separate shots.

if youre talking about the purple "outline", thats something to do with my camera. its advanced P&S, so its not the best. its a fujifilm s5200.

Heck, it even uses your camera for the article!

[Mr. Mu]

wow, now that is weird...!

*caresses his 25yrs old analogue camera...

[MLlanes]

haha, i have a film camera from the 70's, but the mirror is locked up. i wish i could fix it, i would use it more than digital.

[MLlanes]

heres another HDR.
slight fringing on the tree on the right. i think its the stray UV light. im gonna by a filter.

[MLlanes]

this is just a test. messing around with camera settings. this is one of the best quality images ive taken. i guess the settings where wrong before.
