amarinelli Offline Image Upload: Off First time post for HDR Hi everyone I been dabbling with HDR Images for a few weeks now and would like any c&c on this one taken at my home. Any advice or comments appreciated Thanks, Alan May 04, 2008 at 07:30 PM

sbeme Offline Image Upload: On First time post for HDR I'm not sure how to advise you, as I havent worked with HDR. HDR seems very difficult to apply in effective and subtle ways. Your image does not appear quite realistic and I'm not sure why. Probably too light in the interior. May 04, 2008 at 11:44 PM

Scott Stoness Offline Image Upload: On First time post for HDR It seems soft and it looks kind of washed out in the colors. The reflections of the cushions on right are really wierd (ghosting). You have some text showing up on table leg under glass. I think you have chosen a subject that does not work well with hdr (reflections, moving leaves) Tell us about your technique. Tripod, how many exposures, which software. Best technique is use tripod with multishot on and either timer or remote shutter. If there is any movement it will show up as soft because HDR cannot resolve where pictures difer. Obviously if there is any wind in trees the leaves will look soft. Using highlights and lower saturaton would improve. May 05, 2008 at 04:10 AM

amarinelli Offline Image Upload: Off First time post for HDR Thank you guys I appreciate the input It was a 3 exposure shot off a tripod with 2 second self timer the text is actually the photomatix software watermark that is there while using there software during the trial period.

Alan321 Online Image Upload: On First time post for HDR I also think that the interior seems too bright for the scene to be realistic, even though on second look the extra reflections indicate that the room is probably lit through windows on two or more sides. In that case I can't see why you'd use HDR to brighten it up. It is also a very busy scene. Perhaps using a polariser to partial effect would help but probably not - you'd be replacing busy reflections with busy seen-through-the-table details. A bit of sharpening would help too. At least then the business would look like it's well focused - Alan May 05, 2008 at 12:06 PM

Scott Stoness Offline Image Upload: On First time post for HDR Photomatix does not watermark the hdr software in their demo version - it watermarks the tone mapping etc. I think you should back up a step and just do hdr alone in photomatix - the tone mapping is taking it to far perhaps.

Scott Stoness Offline Image Upload: On First time post for HDR By the way when I use photomatix, just hdr, I have found that universally it makes the exposure overexposed so the first step is usually to turn down the exposure before adjusting the tiff. May 06, 2008 at 03:28 AM

Bruce Sawle Offline Image Upload: On First time post for HDR The problem with this picture is the outside exposure is exactly the same as the inside exposure. May 09, 2008 at 08:18 PM
