Early HDR efforts
Oct 18, 2016 11:43:30 #
As an experiment I used an HDR setting to capture photos of a local art exhibit on my Olympus E-PL5 with an Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens (34mm field of view on a M4/3rds mount). I processed the images using Lightroom v5.7 and Photomatix Pro, altho I have the option to process them in camera as well (but hadn't read that chapter yet 
). Attached are the resulting photos. I deleted the "before" images this time, but will remember to save them for this group in the future. The exhibit was held in a beautiful restored building. The art glass bowl in the third photo was unfortunately displayed in a plexiglas case with numerous reflections that made photography difficult. I subsequently processed a shot of the bowl using Topaz B&W Effects 2 with, in my opinion, better results.

Ralph, these are quite nicely done. You avoided the heavy handed tone mapping, etc. path that a lot of folks, including myself years ago, took.

Thank you, Bob. Avoiding a too heavy handed approach was what I was trying to achieve.

Very good, I like them, not overdone which is a common mistake lots of people make.

Thank you, John, I appreciate the encouragement. You seem to be one of the UHH fellas with some experience regarding HDR. I'll be hanging around for a while seeing what others are doing and open to opportunities to learn. /Ralph
