nice pic leitner

 

Hey Trance, post that link in the Photographer's Resourse thread.

 

Can do.

 

hdr is supposed to be done in RAW, i used jpeg, thats why it looks off...next time. if anyone has a serial # for adobe photoshop cs2 osx that is willing to let it go, pm it to me and i will get gallagher to give you a "reach around"

 

Most of the HDR shots i've done are in jpg.
Easier in RAW, yes.

 

another try at hdr, using raw this time. not fussy on it though....

 

what program are you using to "try" to do this?

 

photoshop cs2

 

i havent used cs2 for hdr but i love photomatix

 

why do they end up all infrared looking? when I use CS3 to merge to hdr they dont turn out like that...try photomatix steve

 

i made it like that matt. you take the .pbk file and go to image>mode>16bit then an hdr conversion window opens, under the method tab you choose> local adaptation then i just screwed around with the histogram curve to get the freaky ****. i am just trying to get a handle on the way it works so its a little over the top.

 

ok so this hdr shot involved 16 others...i am starting to get the swing of it. i think.

 

your images arent aligned...16 images is really overkill for HDR 3 is usually more than enough...1 proper exposure, 1 under exposure and 1 over exposure

 

^^ you are a geek head

 

16 is Waaaaaay too much. hdr works well with lanscape shots, because there is the sky and ground to take at dif exposures. Also hdr works well in long exposures. not zoomed in on a flowers bed.


and

 

it was the wind....i am just trying different things.

 

This is a great pic, Łrance...the veins in the back of the leaf are so clearly defined.

 

thank you. you should see the large version :P
