My First Few HDRs

[LORatliff]

I just purchased Photomatix's Aperture plug-in less than a week ago and have been experimenting with making HDR images from one RAW image. So far, I've been pretty pleased with my results. I don't like the overly sharpened, overly saturated HDR style (just my personal preference), but I prefer a natural image that simply offers a good tonal range.

Here's my small (but growing) HDR set on Flickr. Any C&C is welcome. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/loratliff/sets/72157617467578973/

Very nice set. On the first windmill photo watch the horizon looks a little tilted. The others are spot on

Nice set, I especially like both wind turbine shots and that photo with mostly grass; the way the light falls on the grass is real nice.

Very nice for a single original image.

The simplicity of the one with a few trees across the middle is nice.
Just a touch of painterly effect from the hdr process
to put just enough interest in the expanses of sky and grass.

I especially love the one of the barn, nice series!
