HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography - post your HDR

Last I looked this thread is titled "HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography - post your HDR".
btw...love the pics posted here and I am getting ready to post my first HDR's soon.

Do you mean 'awfully arrogantLY', or weren't you aware of the grammatical error?

In reality - I am in reality already - its only HDR that isn't - I know all about HDR and what it actually is.

Its a toy and an abomination an doesnt matter how you emphasise it - 😱properly or properly or even properly - the only proper use of HDR is not use it at all.

If we processed what we saw the same as HDR photographs, they would look natural, but we dont....

My apologies for typing so fast with out proof reading. Im at work and your post struck a chord. I edited right after I posted, but obviously you were faster.

I like that you failed to answer my question about the photo I posted. It looks pretty damn natural to me. As do many of Presha's car posts. You own point is negated by several posts here....

No need to respond though, I'm done feeding the troll. Good day to you sir, and good luck in photography. 😀
 
Here is my first post after playing with HDR and tonemapping. Tried to make it look more 'natural' and bring out some definition and color. In reply to all of the discussion. It was a great learning process using different TOOLS to process digital images. Just as an artist paints and repaints, adds shadow and high light to a canvas we can do that digitally.

designguy79, i commend you.

your honesty is refreshing

at last someone who realises how unnatural HDR is and isn't scared to admit it.

an you ARE right about it being unnatural - its hyper real.

but again well done for admitting it
😉
 
let the fisherman chew his own bait...

Guys... just ignore this guy. He's posted 8 posts total in these forums, 6 of them today in this thread, and his only purpose is to throw flame bait. Why else would he even drop into a thread exclusively about HDR images if we're to take him at his word about his own contempt for HDR photos. This seems pretty obvious.

Just don't take the bait, let him sit there fishing as long as he wants to. Don't even waste time with sarcastic replies, because he's just waiting for them so he can turn them around on you, like above.
 
One of my eye, one of my bike and one of where i live

That Bentley sure is pretty! Nice work designguy79😀 Did you use any flash or strobe lighting? Or was it just light from the garage lights?

On another note, great first time HDR subaqauman and memo06dic!

sprtnbsblplya: if you like what you do, keep doing it. If you think you need or want to improve, ask around for tips or c&c, that's what this forum is all about.

JoshBoy: the lighting on the eye is killer! Can't say much for the bike because I'm a yamaha man..lol!

Thank you

Thanks Presha, most of that lighting was created through lots of burning in photoshop after the HDR was rendered. As far as the bike goes you are always welcome to upgrade considering it is for sale 🙂

Thanks! I used a very large flashlight and took a bunch of exposures at various shutter speeds and lighting angles. After merging some with Photomatix, I also used PS and masked certain layers in and did some dodging and burning.
 
Some nice photos on this page guys. That Bentley is the sex!

Here is a single exposure I HDR toned in CS5.


Clickable....
 
Nice comp NeGRit0!

Very crisp and love the blue overtone. So is this your first 1 shot hdr? If so, what do you think about it? Is it any harder/ easier to work with?

Snowboarder... For some who doesn't like hdr all to well, you did a fantastic job with that shot!

And like NeGRit0 said, good job everyone, keep the pictures coming!

I have done a few one shot HDRs, im not too good with Photomatix, so I liked that with CS5 i didnt have to take the single RAW and make 3 jpgs, I could just start tonemapping it. It seemed to do a good job, and didnt take too much effort to get what i wanted. Im love CS5. I think Adobe has done a great job with it.

3 shot HDR with 50D + 17-55f/2.8IS. Handheld with IS ON.

That's great, then don't waste your time taking HDR photos or reading this thread...
HDR is a technique that has it's place, it's pretty ignorant to shutout a technique because you don't like it. I could EASILY make a rant post like the one linked about shooting digital, or using a tripod, or shooting with a telephoto lens, or using photoshop, or anything. Stupid.

A little over done for my tastes. What the original look like?

Thanks Negrito!

I agree with you on the motorcycle too. HDR abuse.

My HDR policy: If I wouldn't show it without the HDR, I do not bother with it at all. If it can't stand on its own two feet, why bother propping it up?

Negrito: If you wouldn't mind, could you make an example of an HDR comparing CS5 vs Photomatix?

If you have photomatix, I would GREATLY appreciate this!
