HDR - High Dynamic Range / Re: Sepia Tone or Black and White HDR's

« on: January 12, 2013, 10:43:14 PM »

Thanks wickidwombat,

I'll give it a try / more work.

I'm looking now for some shadow heavy shots I've taken, so I can play around with them.


I think my stock lens and using Photomatix is also a double whammy.


Peace!

enfuse is an open source program 

Okay wickidwombat, ... going to give your enfuse
a try... however is it stand alone or do I have to
own "Expensive dobe" light room software first?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/enblend/files/enblend-enfuse/enblend-enfuse-4.1/enblend-enfuse-4.1-win64.zip/download

I'm willing to keep an open mind,
but not willing to part with $1,089.00
for Adobe anything.

Unfortunately I'm in the POOR
photographers catagory.   

Peace!

Here is my first attempt at HDR.

Shot with a 7D using a 16-35mm. Images were +3, 0, -3 and processed using DPP. Please share your constructive criticism and suggestions as I am really looking to learn more.

My advice... stop making the rest of us look bad.   

Great job, bold first try with a night shot, landscape is great!

Please post some of the other shots, I know you have more, we need to see more so we can make a better result / overview.

*Man, I wish I could afford a 16-35mm L lens.

Peace!

The 10-22 from canon is considered very good, or the sigma version. It's not "L" but for landscapes, comparable quality.

Thanks Dark, I added it to my wish list. 
If I get antsy and can't wait until I have
$1,300 bucks, I might just get this one
and work with it.  Like it's said the shot
is not the equipment it's the photographer.

Peace!

I really suck at this, but here are a few... 









  I wish I had a nice 'L' lens, what's best for outdoor (sorta wide angle) for a Canon 60D ?

I'll need to save about 500 more $$ to get this one:

Looking for some inspiration while driving around the back paddocks near home I saw this old VW sitting abandoned in a field and the rest is history 8-)  3 Brackets at 2 ev spacings apart , processed in photomatix and finished up in cs6 with some nik effex thrown in as well.

Cool !

So many great images! Good job everyone. I got Photomatix for Christmas and the HDR quality is so much better than Photoshop's. Here are some images I processed in Photomatix and edited in Photoshop.

+1....Photography is an art form...beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I don't understand why Picasso painted distorted people or Monet painted pastel blotchy pictures.

I don't understand who would pay $86.9 million USD for what looks like a 1st grader art class.

Orange, Red, Yellow (1961)
By Mark Rothko.
$86.9 million (2012)
Christie's New York

I literally laughed out loud

I don't understand why people take HDR photos just for the sake of it being "HDR". Good composition leads to a more striking image than having bad composition and high dynamic range.

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=8064.0

I agree, whole-heartedly.   It is a great tool to expand tonal range if used "tastefully"!

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=8064.0

Agreed, And it seems like it would be the combination of the two that would make the best sense... Why shoot something as HDR, if there is no composition?  Why shoot any photo with no composition?

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=8064.0


It's an art form,





".... why shoot black and white when color photography
has been invented."

That is what you sound like, listen to yourself
guys and gals, you sound like.... well,... old people.   
j/k, you can say whatever you want, ...

(Sarcasm) That reminds me I need to get over to the other
sections and do some bashing over there... now
where is the __________ section at....
