First HDR

[ryan the geek]

This is my first HDR, I used QTPFSgui. I have read some about it but not focusing on this at the moment ( still reading and teaching myself about portrait).

This is a 4 image +/-1 each step exposure

I had some time and wanted to experiment. Please be honest, good or bad.

Something seems wrong with and around the circular building, but still seems to give a cool, not overdone look. Were the shots from a tripod?

[ryan the geek]

Yes it was on a tripod, but!! it was real thick grass and couldn't really get a firm seat in the ground. I see the ring your speaking of, is that a commen artifact from a moving HDR?

Thanks for looking

The artifacts in this image suggest that the images were not in register. For best effect, nothing can move from image to image -- not the subject, not the camera, not the lens.

I see a bit of movement, but it looks pretty cool though, perhaps a little different framing may help the image. A more dramatic shot perhaps.

I think the colors look a bit off, maybe because it's an HDR, maybe not.

I'd say try to photograph a piece of farm equipment maybe instead of just something what you have here to make it more interesting also.

Thanks for all your input. This info is helpful.

Joe got it right. The four images were not properly aligned which resulted in the moire pattern on the silo.
