New to HDR
Sep 28, 2016 10:26:49 #
I have had Photomatix Pro for quite some time, but have just never played with it too much. Here is one of my first attempts trying not to get too crazy with it. (which I'm prone to do because I'm just a little weird) I see after I did the images I should have removed the power lines on the right in Photoshop Elements which I will do next time. Please feel free to comment good/bad as that's the only way I will learn.
Thanks; Michael

The color and exposure are right on. That's the pay off for HDR and I like it, a lot.

Thanks Meives for the positive comment. I'm now back in the program looking at other images I bracketed. I think this is going to be fun!

Maybe post the photos that you merged into the HDR image?
OK, here are the originals.

Cool! Thanks for adding the original shots.
You are welcome. I can see where HDR can become addicting.

Hi Michael, I am not a fan of HDR but you have got this spot on, I really like what you have done.
As the image was tone mapped did you you only use one photo if so you produced a very good example of how HDR can look.

Thank you John. I used 3 images 1/+/-/3 bracketed, then combined them in Photomatix Pro, then used one of the pre-sets, and toned it down considerably using the various sliders in the program so as not too make it too harsh. It is indeed a fun program to play around with.

I feel you have missed the point of using HDR. I would suggest that you check out HDR photos posted on the Web to see what is and isn't considered HDR.

Agreed. I should have tried to remove them in Photoshop. Thanks for the comment.

I'm sorry, I'm new to HDR and simply used one of the pre-sets in Photomatix Pro combining 3 images, and thought is was too radical. Using the sliders I toned it down quite a bit wanting to make it more pleasurable to the eye. If this isn't HDR, I apologize, and in the future will post in the Photo Gallery.

There is no need for an apology, I felt you posted your work here to find out how you were doing for a first time with HDR. There are way to many folks saying photo's are great or someone did some nice work on a photo. I wish many would be more up front with comments regarding a person work.
I would like to add that what you accomplished is a good start but can be better. Room to grow.
