Getting started, need some tips

Hi there!

I tried some HDR shots with the Sony NEX-5N. I'm new to this, so any comment is greatly appreciated.

I see alignment issues in the first one, and it's way overdone for my tastes. But to each his own.

The second I doubt had enough dynamic range in the original scene to even bother with HDR.

The third needs more exposures to bring out the face of the building...... and some serious white balancing.

Using the in-the-camera HDR?

The last one yes. The first two with the auto-bracketing feature (sucks that the camera doesnt allow bigger ev intervals though... hope they'll fix that)


Thanks for the comments 480sparky. I can understand that it may be overdone for your taste, but how would you align the shot?

Thanks again!

but how would you align the shot?

Short of using a tripod, I'd first let the software try to auto-align. If it fails, perform the task manually.

I meant what is it about the shot that is not aligned?


Here's just two more photos i'd love your comments on:
