Decided to do an image study in processing contrasts today. Went out to the Eastern Nebraska countryside this cloudy morning and captured a series of images. Processed all the images with Adobe Lightroom and Photomatix. However one image was processed with natural tonemapping the other with effect tonemapping. Thoughts?
Shot with my: Nikon D700 FX, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, Sigma 14-24mm f/4.5-5.6

Hi Jessie -
what equipment do you use? Also, was any post-processing performed on the images you have put up here?

I just use a normal Canon EOS Rebel Xsi with a 75-300mm lens. And what exactly do you mean about "post-processing"?

In terms of digital imaging software - such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom...

For instance, in the link below you can see a set of images I went out into a cloudy Eastern Nebraska countryside yesterday morning and captured. Processed all the images with Adobe Lightroom and Photomatix. However one image was processed with natural tonemapping the other with effect tonemapping.
I did this to specifically show the glaring difference in tonemapping an image to enhance the natural definition of resolution as opposed to the - at times - garish over processed effects with 'tricked-out' enhancements I have seen people present online. Personally the more natural processing method is my preference - this link was just a simple method to display the general difference between the two. There are some who spend quite a bit of time with HDR processing, and create quite spectacular results (a colleague, Neil Armstrong based in Los Angeles is one).
After opening and cataloging the images in Adobe Lightroom, I do an initial processing effort with Adobe Lightroom exposure modification tools. I then used the Tonemapping "Enhancer" tools in Photomatix 4 software for the natural processed images, and the "Painterly" or "Grunge" tools in Photomatix 4 software for the over processed look.
Shot with my: Nikon D700 FX, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, Sigma 14-24mm f/4.5-5.6
Cheers!

Those are really great :) So was there a particular reason you asked what I used? Just wondering. :)

Jessie -
I was just wondering if the captures you posted were post-processed, and if so what software you used. From your response, it appears that you have not used post-processing digital imaging software tools on your captures.
One of the reasons I started this thread was not just to share pictures, but also to share experiences and knowledge.
Although I exclusively use Nikon equipment, I am not a Canon 'hater' - in fact the Canon EOS Rebel Xsi you own is a quite good entry level DSLR...
