I like Reds Eats,.......................great lobster rolls mmmmmmmmmm

Like your photograph too gives it a dated feel the way you've done it.

Reds is my favorite landmark on the way to Camden. Big splash of color in a beautiful little town. And yes the lobster rolls are the best!! Lol

Worked on this for awhile now, What do you think? Is it to over the top on the HDR? Double tone mapped, a lot of PP. I am calling it "Storm over the Harbor"


:P I like it - very busy and a tad to much HDR - but good technique.

Thank you, Good thing there were only a few boats in the harbor, by now I am sure it's filled for the season, Camden is a very busy harbor, but a very beautiful one to me. I tryed to see how over the top I could go while keeping it enjoyable to look at without hurting your eyes! Lol thanks again

OK...thanks. I think the rapid bursts are the key to less motion. I mostly shoot real estate and landscapes...attached are some images using a D200, D300. Exterior of mountain home shot with D200 mounted on a 16 ft cam pole...7 image bracket processing 1,3,5,7 frames
the other 2 with D300 ...7 & 9 image bracket processing every other frame. Even though I am making some money doing this...I would do it for free...and do some times because as it seems for you too I love this kind of photography.

Awesome job, love 1 & 3, 2 is nice but not enough HDR lol, I hope to start making a little money at this because it's an expensive hobby. I still want a D800 and a 24-70 2.8 nikkor lol!! Thanks for sharing

Just a personal opinion... to match my overly ample _____

(*snickers* you know that adage: "Opinions are like ______, everyone has one!"? Well my opinions match the size of my _____ lol)


.... But the only one of the three in this installment that hit my spot is the middle one. You seem to really have a knack for dramatizing clouds and sky with the HDR effect... you've mastered it, for sure!

Red eats is TOO fried for me to focus well on... as is the last in the series. HDR... for me... works best when there are not so many choppy lines or details in the scene, and in landscapes or harbor/lake-type scenes.

I have astigmatism, and to be honest, most HDR renderings have some subtle quality that wreaks havoc on my eyes and give me an instant headache and/or "car-sickness" feeling.

Anyway... TMI ... and I'm not the only one you need to please with these, by any stretch! *blush*

You've worked hard on all of them and it shows in a grand way!
Congrats!

Nice job,
Usually I am not crazy about HDR attempts,...many HDRs to me look more like illustrations overly done sketches instead of well graduated tonal photographs which is my preferred appearance for the technique.

You've done a great job, I like your method,..keep posting your work.

Love it........ look into printing on aluminum, the colors will just jump out at you, almost 3-d. Only one point, straighten out the picture make the shoreline go straight across not slanted Totally love it regardless. Rich2236

Success is yours. - You have a subject that can be almost a never ending supply of images. Look in the pix you showed us, how many other pix within? Season day night rain storm fog - lucky you! remember to post.
Just saw Denver Alley :thumbup: You have a very good eye and pictorial vision. The sun set is surral :thumbup:

Thanks Rich, always see ads for printing on aluminum but never tried it, I will look into it.
