One of my first attempts at an HDR image. It could be better. Was going for the heavier Photoshoped look.
CS3's automate HDR merge.. then after that I played with contrast, and shadows/highlights. saved it and opened it up in lightroom to do afew tweaks there and to save it as a jpeg
I find the colours on the extremely bright side, it is beginning to kind of "dance" in front of my eyes, but maybe that is just the effect you wanted, and if that is so, then yay :cheer: you did succeed!!! Just for the fun of playing around a little, I tried to create some really obvious (cartoon-like) HDR photos yesterday, but none of those I played with made me overly happy...
Yea, i wanted alot of color, I realize it was a bit much and pretty distracting in the picture. I was also trying to go for more of a cartoonish look, but i didnt get it to where i wanted. So i settled for what i have there. I need to read up a bit more on some of the techniques.
