Boat-HDR

[photonuts]

Hello every, I am new in this forum and here is my first post. I hope is in the right topic:er:

Those were my first HDR I took back in 2008. I took them with my Nikon D300 with bracketing (7 frame and 0.33 ) ISO 200 f/11 1s


1.

2.

3.

I am looking forward to heard from you for advise!!

Great shots. I like the #1 and #3 photos. Very nice touch to it and the angle is great. Bravo!!

Welcome to the forum.

I like #1 the best awesome shots

I love them. I especially like #1, just one thing (though I totally deserve to be shot for saying this about an HDR...I think)...I think the deck of the boat came-out just a little too bright for my taste. I feel it's an odd place for my eye to focus, and that this image really benefits from the overall feel it gives.

Here's what I mean (some very quick burning of highlights in PS at 35% exposure, low strength):

In any case, these shots are freaking fantastic. I've learnt a bit myself just by looking at them and noting the settings you took them at. So, thanks! *tips hat*

No worries! Sometimes it just takes another person to see it from a different perspective. I'm curious to know just where you took those shots. I'm actually at UBC right now, hence the curiosity.

Edit: Oh, and by "deserve it" in brackets, I meant to be shot. Removing highlights from an image that was made to have a wider dynamic range can seem just a little crazy at first.

I took those shots at about 15300-15900 River Road in Richmond ( No house in between ) It will be on your left hand side while you driving from 15000 River road. You will need a low tide to climb down. Good luck

Yoikes! Maybe not. That's far too out of my way by bus.

I like how the water came out in the first one. Overall i like it the most. You did a good job HDR wise.

Hey, welcome to the forum
The last one is stunning! Love the composition and the atmosphere .

I advice you to use an ISO of 100 for HDR, otherwise you could get lots of noise

Thanks for the comment ! I will try ISO 100 (Lo 1 in my camera) next time when I shoot HDR

The composition is well executed. I like it.

Usually I approve HDR but this time it really looks plastic. I think the tone mapping was to aggressive here.

Photo #3 is not posted anymore. Anyway, between photo #1 and #2, I liked the first one better. The shot was well-composed and it has a nice overall feel into it. Maybe it could have been better if the white thing in the right bottom part is cloned out. Thanks for sharing, BTW.

Cheers!
