    Default Trying out Hdr photos

    I got bored the other day and went out to take some pictures.
    Is anyone any good at HDR? This was my first time and some pointers would help..





    Also got a new 50mm lense
    This is the only pic I took with it so far.


    Let me know what you think...

    I shoot HDR photos.... HDR gets a bad name from the noobs coming in and Overbaking the photos and over processing them.

    did you buy the canon 50mm 1.8 II? if so, i just bought it as well, and I like it.

    I have done a few HDR's. It looks in your second one that theres some artifacts in the clouds.

    since clouds are moving and HDR's require multiple shots, then I am going to recommend a different way to do it instead of snapping 3 separate clicks. What you can do (and i am not saying that you should do this everytime, I have suggested this a couple times to people on other forums and a lot of people call me retarded for even saying it, but if things are moving like clouds, grass, bushes etc, this will work pretty well)...well what you can do is take 1 raw file instead of 3 jpegs, and then work out the different exposures in photoshop or another raw software program and then save those separate files as jpegs and then rebuild those jpegs as one HDR. it may sound confusing but google it. It works out alot better because you lose the ghosting and artifacts associated with movement in HDR.

    here are some of mine:









    also, defitely stick with the photomatix. its tons better than using photoshop, but why is there a photomatix watermark on your photographs? you can find ways around that you know

    No thats not the way...

    1flysi.... Take a single RAW file of whatever your shooting. Open up Photomatix and drag and drop the photo in photomatix. Let it load, then click on HDR and then Tonemapping, and from there its up to you.



    The watermark in the photo is the trial version!


    Everytime I shoot HDR shots I use 5 exposures at 1ev.
