Razorback Stadium

[chrismavrick]

This is my first HDR to do so I would like some pointers. I don't really like it but maybe it is just me I don't know. Thanks for looking!

first time, well done. The only thing I would say it needs is some pop to bring the colors out a bit more.

It DEFINITELY needs some pop to it:

Nice shot Chris!!

It does need something though...hmmm? ? ? ? ? ?

I know......a big Ole Miss logo in the middle of the field...LOL....Just had to pick at a fellow SEC'r ya know.

Keep at it, just like everything else it takes practice. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/DeepWoodsDecals/thumbup.gif

Negative on the Ole Miss thing...haha I would like to know how you did the processing on the image. I am new to the photography scene so the processing is what I lack the most. I have CS4 and LR2 if that helps you explain to me how to do it. Thanks a lot!

Here's my version:

I used LR2 and started by increasing contrast, clarity, and saturation. Then I selectively de-saturated (by a small amount) the blue and red stadium seats in the far end zone. Then I placed a graduated filter on the sky and further enhanced it with saturation, exposure, and clarity. Took a couple of minutes to do. LR is wonderful.

I would like to know how you did the processing on the image.I cheat. I use a Photoshop plugin called Topaz Adjust (http://www.topazlabs.com/adjust/) on a lot of images, this one included.

[jgrussell]

Any better?Yup. More contrast, more drama; overall lighting is not so flat.

I agree - looks really good and much better than the original.

Biggest problem i see with all of them is that the fence is in focus not the actual stadium. I mean the point was an hdr of the stadium not the fence correct? Maybe next time move forward for the picture or pan right move left. It would have cut out the tunnel on the left and the fence. It is well done thats for sure. hats off on the craftsmanship. this is just my opinion.
