Okay, I have spent the last while trying to become more familiar with the HDR process. So, I took some advice from Woodsac, and began taking some pictures. However, I can't seem to get the right look. Here is what I want my the feel of my photo to be like:
I especially love the clouds... However, here is what I have done...
I went out, and took a photo using my auto focus. Then I transferred those numbers to my manual settings, and re-shot the picture. Then without changing the F# (I beleive is called the aperture), I shot using different shutter speeds, to get 4 or 5 different pictures.
Here are the exposures I used, and the photos... then the final result... please help me figure out why I can't get this look. Is it the photo I am using, or the post production work on it??? Please help me, I really want to perfect this technique. Thanks.
100-1547
ISO 100, 1/400, f/4.0, 20mm
100-1549
ISO 100, 1/200, f/4.0, 20mm
100-1550
ISO 100, 1/800, f/4.0, 20mm
100-1551
ISO 100, 1/1250, f/4.0, 20mm
And unfortunately, I could not get a better product then this.... What did I do wrong?? (I am using the trial copy of Photomatix)
