Edison Lake area, these last 4 photos were taken midday.

The first one has no real eye drawing subject. The second one has some nice foreground so it is much better in composition. I am a little lost with the color of the sunset. You weren't using a colored filter? Both of these need to be straightened. I tried several different special edit software on these two and came up with no improvement. The other images show some promise, but appear light. Were you combining three exposures? When I think about it, all the images don't have the coloration of HDR would have. Are you using one image and Tone Mapping? Or do you have a camera that does HDR in the camera. Sorry I can't wave a magic wand on this one.

Here is the Exif information of your third image. Your data appears to be a single exposure: 1/25-sec at f/22.

Is a Rebel T2i capable of "in-camera" HDR process? There should be NO Exif info on an HDR image merged from three different exposures.

Thank you Nikonian72. I'm not sure what went wrong, the camera T2i can not process HDR. I merge 3 photos -2, 0, +2 and used Photomatix Essentials 3.1.1. These photos were taken durning midday and there really close in what I was seeing. I guess you could brighten them up some, but I'm trying to get a natural looking photo of what I'm seeing. I process another HDR photo of #3 and well attrach it with this reply. Oldhilker

Again, I have attached Efix info for this image, which shows that it is a SINGLE exposure of 1/25-sec at f/22, not a merge of three images.

Can you explain efix info for this image? The "unique ID" was generated by your camera, for a single exposure.

What I'll do is up load the bracketed photos, maybe that well give you a clue . Thank you! Oldhilker

Maybe certain other HDR programs leave the EXIF from one of the images in tact. I don't know for sure but if he can't explain it, and he's using an HDR stand alone or plug-in this may be true.

Some HDR programs definitely leave HDR information on the final image.. No idea what image they use, but they do leave it on the final image :)
