HDR-Juno Beach

These were taken early this morning at Juno Beach.
I kind of think the one with pretty heavy magenta may be a bit too much. What do you think.
These were taken at -2,0,and +2 on a tripod, 2 second shutter delay, 10-22mm lens.

I'll go #2. The first has the halo around the bridge; the third is way too magenta for my tastes.
I like what you've done compositionally with the seaweed in the foreground.
It looks like it might need a little straightening on the horizon-- but I'm getting picky.

I agree with the critique. Straighten the horizon on two and you'll have a wall hanger. :thumbup:

I'm curious at what focal range you selected to compose. I have a Sigma 10-20, and even when leveling the camera, I get the wide angle distortion @ anything other than 20mm. I love wide angle-- but I'm thinking about selling and buying something else.

Overall I like #2, but I do really like the highlight behind the pier in #1. I'd be driving myself nuts trying to merge the two. Really nice shot regardless.

The first 2 are great. One question though. With the bracketing how do you get the waves or any other moving objects in the image to be so clear? Doesn't the fact that the waves moving means that the bracketed images don't properly align?
Thanks in advance

Phil,
That is a function of shutter speed. If you had a slow shutter speed, let's say more than one second and even 30 seconds if it was really dark you would get more of that "cottony" look. If the shutter speed is faster let's say 1/60th of a second or less the images should be sharp. Of course if you don't use a tripod there will be of a tendency to get camera shake and the images will be blurry.
You can do nice HDR captures using Auto Exposure Bracketing, in camera Handheld repeat Handheld as long as your shutter speed is a little faster and you stabilize the camera by leaning against a building or bracing yourself. Hope this helps.

I don't think the question related how to freeze movement but rather how to keep the waves looking crisp and natural when stacking multiple images in HDR.

Thanks. Not sure I addressed your question. I did use a tripod, had the camera set for Auto Exp. Bracketing which was set to -2,0 and +2 and set the sutter for 2 second delay. Focused the camera manually and shot in AV mode. When the camera fired it exposed the three shots very quickly. Hope this helps.

Yes that was what I was after. Thanks heaps. Of course, being a lazy photographer I have only handheld so far - yes I know I have to use a tripod for crisper shots and one day I'll pull my finger out and do it!! I think HDR has a lot going for it and hope to eventually find more time.
