This is the memorial to General Stonestreet. It is located in the woods, just off Seminary Ridge.
Very nice. It is amazing what detail HDR can bring out. The greens in the trees seem to have gotten a little pale though.
I like the treatment of the HDR image.
I don't know all the generals of the Civil War and General Stonestreet I never heard of. Googled the General and it appears Google, Wikipedia and the National Park Service haven't heard of him either. Perhaps you meant General Longstreet.

Perhaps I did... Ooops!
Sorry about that - knew he was named after a street, though! :shock:

Bloke,
I like the trees in the background in image one. The bronze statue is very dark and you tried to bring it out in image 2, but image 2 looks overdone. Suggest you try this again with a few modifications.
Examine your subject and background for exposure. You can reduce the background exposure by setting the camera up for a ยExposure Compensation (-1.6Ec). Then set your flash to fire on the statue facing the camera, the camera should expose the statue with flash. You could, also set flash Ec if the statue may become over exposed.
Then go ahead and expose the statue the way you did and process all the captures in HDR.
If you shoot in RAW and RAW+JPG you will have some comparisons to work with in evaluating your pictures.

Nice job. The detail looks great.

You are getting very good at this. What HDR software do you use?

Thank you. I used to pass my stuff from LR to PS to do the merging, but since LR added 'built-in' HDR, I have done everything there. I like that I get a final output file which is still a DNG file...

What version of LR has HDR? I have 5.7 and I don't think it has it.

It's in CC. Right-click, and select "photomerge", and this gives the option of HDR or Panorama.
