The first one begs for HDR, and the second is horribly underexposed.

 

[reissigree]

I wasn't a fan of the latter either. It begs for HDR in a good way?

In a way, yes. The photo as is is boring and i wish i could see detail in the corn, which you can't right now. So reshoot it, but use HDR.

I like this response... HDR for these images simply put would be exposing the sky correctly and the corn/ground correctly and merging the photos.... Right now you have a beautiful sky in both, but everything is dark on the ground because it needed a different exposure. It may have been possible on the last one to meet in the middle. I actually would have preferred to see the last one done correctly with either HDR or more exposure. If you shot it in RAW you might be able to get enough out of a single image HDR.

It isnt possible to do in the post processing? I'll go reshoot and post.

I did shoot in RAW, actually. I'm not too good at post processing though:/
On the first picture I did use the multiply filter on the sky and adjust the levels in the corn.

A quick tone map:

 

[shootermcgavin]

DBJ is tone map the same as single image HDR in CS5? I hear that term a lot.

No, tone mapping is using one image, converting it to multiple, then using an HDR editing software. It is not a true HDR, which is made with individual photographs.

 

[shootermcgavin]

Got ya, I haven't tried that I normally use the single image HDR if I didn't take multiple exposures I will have to give it a shot it sure turned out pretty good.

Isn't corn maize incredibly redundant? :lmao:

Haha i didn't catch that at first. Redundancy-1

I sent you the link to the original in both emails, but I didn't get a confirmation in either. So I figured I'd post the link here as well for anyone else!
