This was taken at the Self-Realization Fellowship garden in Encinitas CA last Saturday. I have been experimenting with luminosity masks. I first did the HDR in Photomatix Pro after some preliminary work in LR5 then I went to PS6 and used the Luminosity mask action provided free from Greg Benz Photography. This sure makes this process easy. http://gregbenzphotography.com/luminosity-masking-tutorial/

this is a well done image the small thing I would have done is clone out the white area where the two petals don't meet.

Nothing to fix. On a calibrated monitor, there's plenty of detail in the original(it is, after all, an hdr). Uploading has caused a loss of detail.


Hi Willard could you post again and check the download button so we can all see then we can all rest in peace and have a good nights sleep :D :lol:

Except a lot of detail was lost in the clouds. HDR should have detail in the complete image.


Agree

My goal in this project was to see for myself if ETTR is an effective concept. So the first image is the initial condition and the second condition is to find an exposure to correct the initial error. I did so by adjusting the shutter speed.
What I was looking for was to see distinct boundaries in the grey scale images. The swath of colours was used to see if there was an effect on the colours . And there was. Not one of my photos mimicked it. However, that could be due to my methodology. I used JPEG files rather than RAW files.
I added the post card because it had lots of fine lines.
I live very close to many dense forests, and for most of the year we have stratus clouds coming off the Pacific. August tends be the brightest month, and sometimes we have perfect skies in January when there is a cold snap. However the sun is invariably low. I am satisfied that it is a useful concept to use in this region. I just make sure that I bring a tripod.
This year my wife treated me to a trip to Las Vegas and surrounding area including parts of Arizona and Utah. It was a wonderful experience, but I had to learn all over again how to take pictures.

From what I gather about ETTR is that the reason to use it is because fully one half of all the information is in the right 5th of the histogram.(see diagram) So if you expose to the right without clipping All the information you will need to make an excellent image in post will be there for you to manipulate as you will. Of course converting to JPG negates this principle. An experiment I did a RAW file ETTR was 24MB and the same image 1 stop under exposed was 20.4 MB (with shadow clipping) a Large JPG of the same scene was 3.36 MB. Another advantage of ETTR is the reduction of noise in the shadows.

Sometimes I use ETTR but many scenes don't call for it so I just know the principle and use it when I can
