My first HDR shots with my new camera.

Spaceman Spiff 23 · Jun 20, 2009

I don't have Photoshop(I know), just Photomatrix. I don't know how to get rid of the graininess in the sky. I assume it's because the clouds were moving a little in between shots. Taken with a Canon T1i and a Tamron AF 17-50mm f2.8. Tell me what you think.

1. Abandoned train tracks and streetlight at the end of my street.

2. Just the train tracks earlier that day.

3. Lamp post in the rain

4. This one came out looking like it was shot at around noon instead of after sunset.

5.

6.

7. This is my favorite one, I think. The compression hurts it a little.

I love the first one, although those cables hanging loosely from the lamp post doesn't seem to fit in. Can you edit those out?

That T1i does a nice job. How do you like your camera?

I really like the first and the third photo. Nice work.

I love it. It's a huge step up from My PowerShot, but it's very easy to use. I Kind of feel like the Power shot was a training course for the T1i.

I love the 1,3 and 6th photo, they are really awesome. I love it when people use HDR in a good way, you hit it right on the sweet spot with these.

NICE. Looks like you seem to have a good grasp on hdr. I have not begun to work with hdr yet. Your pictures look good. Did you adjust the saturation on your pictures? They seem as if you over boosted it. I think it looks good. I'm just curious if you did and if not; what are you doing to get that kind of color into your pictures?

I comine the picures with Photomatix Pro, then use the tone mapping feature to adjust the saturation, brightness, sharpness, etc. Most of mine are over saturated.
