Nice images Peter. What program(s) are you using to convert to HDR? Are all of the above images a result of three bracketed photos? Are any of them single images and then converted to HDR? It's always nice to see how others achieve this effect.

I use a canon 40D mostly handheld so that limits me to 3 bracketed shots. Since the light here tends to be very harsh (Queensland Australia) I use -2,0,+2. When I do have a very still subject and a tripod i will set to -2/3, 0, +2/3. Then by adjusting the compensation up by two stops from 0 and the down two stops from 0 I can get 9 shots at 2/3 increments from -2 and 2/3 to + 2 and 2/3. All of these pics were done with three shots. I use photomatix, mainly on the the HDR but when I want really natural results then I use the exposure fusion setting. I do a follow up processing in PS CS5 initially to sort out the 3 major problems with HDR (movement, noise and chromatic aberration.) Sharpening is also very important as the HDR process can produce soft looking results.

These shots are beautiful! In Photomatix when working with a static image, do you turn on the deghosting?

I have to ask, I am new to HDR photography. How do you get HDR photos of wildlife? I thought they are aways moving, it would be pretty hard to get three of the same poses? hope its not to dumb of a question.

Yeah I always turn on the deghosting, removal of chromatic abberation and noise reduction as they in some degree deal with the three main problems of HDR. But its very rare that I end up with a pic out of photomatix that doesn't need further work on chromatic problems and noise reduction.

Not a dumb question at all. Fortunately the pics of the koala and the eagle were in good light so I was able to bracket three very quick shots together. But you are right animals are hard. But koalas are not known for their movement except during mating season, but most of the time they sit very still and cuddly looking. And the eagle was moving a lot but there were pauses between movements. It took a lot of shots but I was lucky. But generally you are right, animals are hard.

You can do a psuedo HDR with one shot that will work if the subject is moving, but they don't seem to have the "pop" that bracketed shots have. (pp the exposure with copies of original)

I knew about pseudo but this is true HDR I just thought it was amazing that here is so much detail in the pictures that were bracketed. Some great talent as well as a great amount of patience to get the shots. Another thumbs up to you. I hope to be that good some day.

Patience yes I will accept that but talent, no way. If you want to see talent then go to Trey Radcliffs site. (See below) He produces some of the best HDR images in the world and his tutorials are fantastic. Some people here have been kind enough to say that they would like to emulate what I have posted. My thanks for that as like everyone I appreciate compliments but my real answer is when you see Trey's work then mine is a long long way short.

I agree that Trey is very talented. His tutorials are top notch. He also offers a coupon code for 15% off Photomatix Pro.

Oh I know about Trey Radcliff. He is the one who inspired me to start doing HDR and his tutorials are awesome too. But I will still argue with you and I think Trey would too. You have talent. Its ok to put your arm up in the air fold it behind your back and give it a few slaps! As long as we keep trying we can only get better!
