M first HDR

[Traxtor]

Good Geno. Glad you learned something new. I assume there's a lot off interesting info about this on the net, although I got my info from a magazine. Interesting "art" form indeed

 

[Traxtor]

Any critique on how it could have been even better?

 

[GeorgeUK]

I like it very much

Which prog did you use to do this? Photoshop or Photomatix?

 

[Chris of Arabia]

You should try a B+W conversion on this....

 

[emo]

whoah.. are sure that this is your first HDR? what software did you use?

 

[Traxtor]

I used photomatix. Haven't tried HDR in PS yet.
B&W might be cool yeah!
This is my Semi first. The first one was hand held and got very blurry. So this is my "second" try at HDR.

 

[Traxtor]

Okey I tried to make a couple of B&W's out of this. Don't know which is best?

#1 This is just B&W version of the HDR

#2 I tried making some "unrealistic" Changes in the B&W color filters.

#3 In this I tried to make it kinda old looking. Like if it was taken ages ago.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

B&W might be cool yeah!

#2 is working best for me at the moment (especially the brickwork), though it could use a little more contrast in other areas, with a touch of sharpening just to crisp it up a bit.

It's not what I'd normally like, (I prefer the HDRs that aren't easily recognised as such, that just leave me wondering how they got such an even exposure in such a tough situation) but the artisitic quality is enough that I do like it.

Just proves there are exceptions to every rule, even mine.

@KD5NRH
I think Traxtor could have both just by desaturating a little.

@Traxtor
Sweet image! What is that? A water treatment plant or something? The feeling is very European... England? Northern Europe? It's cool looking!

 

[TamiyaGuy]

Wow, that's a really great HDR photo! The colours are just so rich, and the rule of thirds is really exaggerated because of the super-high contrast.

Once agin, thanks for all the comments.
Bifurcator: Well it's an image off an old waterplant (generates electricity). It's not in use anymore but it's become a museum. Those pipeline was used for transporting the water from a waterfall nearby. And I think it's the rust + the green color off the pipes that really makes this picture.

I really appreciate all the comments, this has given me a boost. Thanks 2 all
