My first HDR.

[laffe]

Well, maybe not my first attemt, but the first im happy with.
Like the dramatic effect I got.

I have a Canon G12, no filters used here.

I used bracket setup, but did no other settings besides setting the camera to the brackets.

I have read some write that use +-2 but not quite sure what that means.
Is that the wheel all to the left? hehe.

Anyway, if you have any tips for improvements here, then I appriciate it.

I used photomatrix to assemble the image.

Wow.

Way overcooked.

And as a "photograph", there really isnt' much there worth taking a picture of.

 

[laffe]

The thought behind it was to get some dramatic skies.
But I do know its over done for sure.

Just a suggestion take out the time
Stamp.

What +-2 means is exposure bracketing.

Typically, most who start dabbling in HDR will take a 'correctly' exposed frame ('0'), then a frame that's 2 stops underexposed ('-2'), then one two stops over exposed ('+2').

 

[laffe]

I see. But how do I set that on a g12? is it even possible?
That is a question i havent been able to find the answer to using google or canon.....

 

[manaheim]

[laffe]

This statement is just so bizarre to me.

Have you ---ever--- seen a professional photograph or piece of artwork with a timestamp on it?

I know I haven't. Then again, I'm gonna' go out on a limb and guess that the OP's not a professional. Perhaps a "professional" look isn't what he's going for.

I agree that the date stamp needs to go, but only because it's distracting, not because it doesn't look professional...

 

[manaheim]

It's not a matter of professional or not, and you know it.

 

[prodigy2k7]

I hate these images...

 

[Steve5D]

It's not a matter of professional or not, and you know it.

Well, if it's not a matter of professional or not, why did you bring it up?

 

[MK3Brent]

I'm diggin' the HDR'd timestamp.

The timestamp is no more annoying than those bloody watermarks put on by people who feel their images are so hot that everyone is going to steal them and make lots of money from them.
