Post Your Best HDR Photo

Here is my attempt at HDR. Took it the first day I got my wrx. Any suggestions on how to improve it?

bumarji, I may be new here, but I have a comment...

If you look real closely to the front left bumper of the car... there seems to be someone in the middle of the street taking a dump. You may wish to photoshop that out.

I'm just playing. I wish mine came out that good.

X-Warrior, S.E.V. , alistairksmith, Beau Hudspeth, DreDaze, and anyone else I failed to mention whom gave comment, explaination, or example... I thank you.

S.E.V. I do see the difference between the 2 in your example. It's not huge, but there is a difference. And I can only imagine there would be further difference if done by 3 original RAW files. I appreciate your time to show me this.

DreDaze I have now tried the Dynamic Photo HDR program. I am still having the same issue.. only difference is my pockets are less full. LOL I do however like the program. It works great for me with JPEGs. I hope the problem is a faulty me, not a faulty camera... I have a strong feeling that I could more easily be replaced... and would be if I bought another camera.

Here is an example of my new JPEG done HDR with the Dynamic software.

Is it possible it could be a compatibility issue with my video chip set? (This is a laptop after all).

Thanks again all.

Wow ya'll these shots are absolutely amazing! I love the winter stream and tank a few pages back, but there isn't a bad picture in the bunch! I haven't tried HDR yet, but I'm heading out to Big Bend National Park this week and hoping I can get some good chances at some great HDR shots

Whoa, those dozers really pop out! Thats a great shot. Intergrated GPS, huh? grading work is too easy now-a-days.... Cutting out the surveyors. (hehehe, only because im one)

Aloha,

I just found out what HDR images are and they are fantastic.I have heard of the term before but didn't really take notice. Ok now I am going to try this it is why some pics I see are so good

HAHAHAH that's hilarious. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have taken the picture from so close.

Is it just me or is HDR a little over done in some of these? While there are some crackers in the thread, a few look like the "Shadow & Highlights" tool was cranked up a little too much. Maybe I'm just picky :S

For me, I find it hard to get HDR looking just right. The one and only time I think I got it right is below. 7 shot HDR (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3) taken about 90 minutes into a 2.5 waiting game to get the light "just right". Shot is of "America" in one of San Diego's harbour.

I am guilty of "Shadow/Highlight crimes against HDR" But some of them look pretty cool IMO. Yours is absolutely stunning! I love that shot. Great work.

Very nice and not over the top. Looks as though the Marriot is leaning away from the Harbor for some reason?

Great work, Dr D & ZachNeverFails. I love both of your images.

Thanks
