Renfrew Park

I was out for a walk this afternoon in the park, and the sky got so great that I just *had* to try my hand at some hdr shots. I took about 400 (!) but it will take me some time to process them all, learning as I go.
As I have said here before, I don't think an HDR shot should *look* like an HDR shot - I don't go for the garish look.
Anyway, this is my first proper try - since I got my tripod - so I would appreciate any comments. There will be a lot more to come later!
If anyone feels strongly enough to want to play with it, be my guest...

HDR version

I like the HDR done this way. I noticed that the HDR version is a tad softer than the "o" image. I do like the HDR better though.

Thanks you. I didn't notice that, but I will watch out for it as I work on the others. Sharpening is one of those things I am not sure about... How much is enough? Sometimes I can't really see a difference, which doesn't help!

Hey Bloke,
Nice photo. As long as the end result is what you saw in you mind's eye then it's as it should be. Don't be concerned with how others may perceive your HDR. It's you art, so satisfy yourself. Spend time with the software variables until you know exactly what each control does. Sharpening can vary depending on whether you intend to print or just display.
There are tons of great HDR tutes on You-Tube to get you started.

I've been watching a bunch on Lynda.com too. I really like the relatively subdued look, although some of the fancy filters in things like NIK look good too. Something else on my wish list!
Thanks,

In my opinion, it misses the mark. The HDR version has less dynamic range.... Look at the loss of detail in the trees....
Thanks.
