Here is a before image of a dam on the Pitt river in northern California. No adjustments were made. Enlarging the dark side will indicate a tremendous amount of noise.

The after image was processed in Photomatix (3 images), ACR and PSCC. Due to the extreme noise I also used Nik Define to soften the noise.

This is an example of extreme contrast and where using HDR can be very useful.


Spot on HDR work.

Good job. You turned a bland overexposed image into a keeper. I used to work for SMUD in northern CA and enjoyed my frequent trips to the hydro dams. Your photo brings back nice memories.

Good job on this one. Not overcooked. You kept the dam from saturating.

And only brought up the shadows on the trees on the left to the point they were believable.
