I agree with you, these were very nicely processed. I think what turns people off about HDR is when they see it done with too heavy a hand and it causes halos and a bunch of other issues which turn the photo into a cartoon. These two are done correctly (in my opinion).


Thanx Frank. I could'nt agree with you more. When I first got photomatrix I created a few of those "cartoons" myself.

I'm not a huge fan of HDR but I mess around with it like many of us do. I used photomatrix pro for these and am quite pleased with the way they came out.

I really like the grosbeak and hawk! Hope that's a pigeon the hawk had for dinner.

No such luck. It was a poor little robin.

Hello ngc. you repied to a post I made where I complained about a shot that I took of venus, Jupiter, and the moon and asked what kind of picture did I want ? Well, I want to take pictures like these. They're beautiful. I've got maybe three shots of BIF but nothing as nice as these. I just want to shoot um like I see um and have um look this good.

Thanx for the input. I kinda figured that the brightness of the moon was the problem. Guess I can't get the photo that I was hoping for without some fancy pp (which I'm not very good at). Understanding layers blows my mind like the moon in that picture !

The question you didn't answer was what kind of photo were you looking for? Frankly, I think the image that you got was excellent and the moon - overexposed and all - added a lot to it. For an image showing the 3 brightest objects visible in the nighttime sky it's pretty impressive!

If you want to get detail in the moon, there ain't no substitute for focal length. These were taken with a 2000mm f/10 cat system.

Wow! I don't know what a cat system is and I'm damb sure I can't afford a 2000mm len's but,Wow, those are very impressive photos.
Here's one I took a while ago with a sigma 150-500mm lens on my canon 40D.

Blown out moon or not, I agree that it's a great photo with a lot of interest. Your biggest problem is the brightness of the moon exceeds that of Venus and Jupiter by a range greater than the dynamic range of your camera. A properly exposed moon would barely show Venus and Jupiter would be too dim to see on the image or would show up as a couple of faint pixels.

There is a 10 magnitude (the brightness scale used by astronomers) difference between the illuminated portion of the moon and Jupiter which means the moon is about 10,000 times brighter than Jupiter.

I need a little input on this photo. It's a long exposure of venus, jupiter, and the moon lined up in the western sky tonight but, as you can see, the moon is overexposed and totally blown out.
Mode=m
Tv=10 sec.
Av=3.5
ISO=1000
Any suggestions ?

Hello all. I like this site and hope to learn a lot. So, to start with, tonight I made an attempt at a long exposure to get a picture of venus, jupiter, and the moon lined up in the western sky. mode=m, Tv=10 sec, Av=3.5, iso=1000. But, as you can see, the moon is overexposed and totally blown out. I still think it's an interesting picture but know I can do better. If anybody's got a suggestion as to how to do that please let me know.
