Del Mar...

[Steve5D]

Went out to the Del Mar Racetrack yesterday and, along with shooting some of the races and the barns, I did some HDR stuff. All are handheld, made from three-image images. Some are cooked a bit, some are not, and I'm still wrestling a bit with some halos here and there:

8.

It was nice to have access to the track and facilities before the crowds showed up. It made shooting a lot easier...

my personal favorite is the close up of the fountain. One nit pick would have been not to crop out the right side green hieneken roof/dome/cover thingy.
Also might want to add a little contrast..some black perhaps its a bit on the flat side.

Go to your layers pallet and select selective color layer and adjust the select neutrals from the drop down menu and adjust the black to +10 then select the black color and adjust to +2 and let me know what you think.

Its nice to see some DOF most HDR's are all in focus and this image really makes you focus on the fountain, with a nice perspective.

Seeing some of the images here in HDR, I seem to be getting addicted !!!

Very nice HDR treatments. I see a very tiny bit of haloing here and there and some over-cooked reds here and there and such, but it's very minor and... of course... could just be a style choice.
