We heloed up to Mendenhall Glacier in near Juneau 2 years ago. I had my 18-135 kit lens back then. Definitely go for the longer lens unless you just want the scenery!! We had to put up with dirty windows! lol!

No offense taken, this my first attempt and wanted feedback! I learned from the experience. I probably applied it to a number of scene where it just didn't work. Trying to keep the foreground light enough without blowing out the clouds seems to be a challenge!! Thank!!

regards, Bob

I hope you were not offended by my comment. The image looks really nice. Usually HDR has a kind of archival look that I like and I didn't see it here. That's all I meant. I didn't want to discourage or offend you.

You mean the first one right, the second is not HDR.

In my opinion, the image is not HDR enough.

Thanks, I get some crazy file sizes with the 36 mp. I did some vertical panos that were outrageously large, 4x36!!

Bob, I pulled them both up in PHotoshop (windows tile) and had them side by side. HDR is much better. By the way, the original was 100 mb and HDR 2 mb. But that didn't hurt the color and brightness. David

Thanks for the comment, I did that same thing with the sky in a Grand Canyon shot. I darkened the sky in one image in CR and then layered it onto the original since the foreground would have been too dark. I am just trying to get a sense of when HDR works best. Since you always have the correct exposure shot to fall back on it is just a fun exercise.

I do not profess to be a great photoperson. I use Photomatix Pro for HDR processing. I generally go for a base HDR and do my processing in PSP to give it some zip. Many times the sky gets a bit overcooked and I simply layer the original in, mask it, change the opacity to 50 to 70% and brush in the sky.

I will do this in other sections that seem a bit over cooked, such as grass (greens) they can seem to be a bit oversaturated with color (even thou you did not change the saturation.

Just some techniques I have used for you to consider and experiment with.

Oh NICE PIC btw

I think your capture is outstanding. You can not get this smooth of light and dark without it. I think + - 3 EV is more than you need. I often use 2 EV. But it came out great. I would have liked to see the original without HDR too so I could campare. I use HDR a lot. David

I think I will pretend that I never started this, since I got no help at all with the processing part.

Someone asked for it to be saved, so I did. I'll post the original in greater file size.

Why the double post?

And the 'original' is rather small, don't you think?

Hi guys, I am new to HDR and did a lot of it (and vertical panos) on my vacation to the parks in Utah and Arizona last week. I was hoping to get some "constructive criticism" on this image. I can handle the negative to lean from it!! This is the three patriarchs at Zion NP. Did I go too far on anything. I am working in PS CS6 and this was three images at +/- 0.3 ev with a D800 and 24-120 lens. I stored the original here. I read the comments, just trying to figure out how not to overdo the clouds and still get the details in the rocks. Since I did three exposures I already have the correct one, I am just trying to learn here and see if HDR gives me something one exposure doesn't!
