hope you enjoy!!!

Thank you, nice work even though I am not a big fan of HDR>

I wonder what it is about the color yellow that reacts so badly to HDR tone mapping? Im sure its responsible for the nuclear bright yellow green grass we see so often. Here the color is almost blinding bright. I would really like your first shot if the sky could look more 'normal'.

I like the shots, just not the HDR.

Have also noticed with certain shades of tan, the final images is very orange. I think it is just a build up of shades as a result of the number of images used in the merge. Just this is just an SWAG on my part.

I'll be glad when cartoonish overcooked HDR fades into the lame zone such as selective coloring did

 

[Trever1t]

I don't know, I kinda like the almost cartoon-realistic HDR. Not every image has to be true-to-life realistic eh? I think these are compositionially pretty darn good.

Agreed with Trever1t, Not everything has to be true-to-life realistic! I don't think that this type of HDR is just a fad I think it is still in it's baby years. Love it or hate it is hear to stay.

I like the processing other than the sky in the first one. It is to dark, you need to start masking in your other exposures for a better looking HDR photo, but I love everything else about this photo!!!

Sky kills an otherwise very good #1. Good 3D feel to it.

Yellows and greens hurting my eyes in #2. Also, composition is much weaker.

Major overhaul on the sky and I think you've got a keeper in #1

i lightened the sky up a little

 

[Dillard]

I don't like the second shot hardly at all, but I really like the first shot. And I rarely like HDR's

 

[JRE313]

You guys are a tough bunch but I need itI think I am getting betterThe next photos will be better

 

[vipgraphx]

Here is a little help for you. The darkness of the left sky and then the light sky just to the right is creating a halo effect. Then the dark dark blue in the clouds on the right side do not go with the photo. It would be great if you just used one of your original exposures and masked in more so it was not such a big difference in colors perhaps an easier a subtle transition.

In this picture dodged and burnt the sky to help make it more of what I explained above since I did not have your original exposure it work with. Hopefully you will see what I am trying to explain and I think others as well. I also adjust the yellow and the green a little bit because after I adjusted the sky they were to vibrant. I like the way it looks. I think you have a great foundation to work with.

Crowed is tuff but you are getting better!!!! Thats what its all about!! Keep it up.

i think the only reason selective coloring faded away was beause it became easily accesible and simple for everyone, and people started doing it to images that had no compositional value

I don't think that this type of HDR is just a fad I think it is still in it's baby years. Love it or hate it is hear to stay.

i think it's on it's way out seeing how some phones are starting to attempt to reproduce it with the built in camera app, as soon as they make it work at least a little bit, the same thing that happened to selective coloring will happen to these kind of HDR's, regardless of whether or not it can be done well...

Marmots- You still can't print a professional print with a camera phone and I will challenge any phone user out there against the skills of an advanced HDR photographer.

Phones can do this now like the iphone but its no where close to what you can produce with the processing power of a computer and software. Lets make a friendly bet about it being on its way out or in...

you game?


In addition to said above, is the quality of lenses vs the camera phones. I do not know any camera phone that can reproduce the quality of a pro lens as well as the ultra wide lenses that is almost a must in HDR. The amount of brackets and full control of white balance, exposure, shutter and so on.

Camera phones are cool but I think your statement would be more appropriate that camera phones will replace point and shoots, once they get an actual true zoom function and not a digital zoom that sucks...
