Fall Woods

HDR from one raw

Lovely picture CameraBuff, especially as i look out my Maine window and see another heavy snow fall dropping 6" or more.

Stellar! LOVE the orange overall feel to the image.

Curiousity question..

How do you process just one raw file? I have tried it with Photomatix & it din't turn out well. Any tips?

BTW. Great image. The orange looks amazing.

Very nice work. Beautiful colors.

Personally I use LightRoom but whatever program you use to process RAW images should work. I process the image in LR how I want it, then I drag the exposure slider all the way to -4, export, move it to -3, export, move it to -2, export etc till I go all the way up to +4. I then import all those files into photomatix. Sometimes I only go -4 to +1 or sometimes -2 to +4... just depends on the image and what I am going for.

Did that make sense? You follow it?

Thanks everyone, that is my best so far. On that I saved one as +2 and one as -2 to go with the original; also did some pp after in photoshop.

Thanks theague!

this one looks great.

Love the orange color of the pic, good work.

Very effective.

This is a good example of the principle—even a 1 shot HDR is likely to be an improvement over the same shot processed without HDR.
