Wednesday evening mass

flyingseale · Mar 14, 2007

Another quick stop at the church on the way home tonight. I spent about 30 minutes taking shots from different angles and watched as the sky changed colour all around me. All are HDR's. Some deliberately over-saturated with others a bit more natural looking.
BTW, I already know about the dust on the sensor :grumpy:

. It seems the blower just moves it from place to place, but rarely out of the camera.

wow, great shots, nice HDRs. I have to say 2, 3, & 5 are my favs... i love the wider angle of #2, the sky in #3 and the perspective and darkness of #5... :thumbup:

1 is stunning
2 is fantastic
3 is amazing
4 is amazsunntastic
5 is stunamaztasticing
6 is a beauty
7 & 8 are nice but the glow is a tad too much for me

but 2 and 4 are my favourites

Could be nicer - I'm put off by the dark / light halo's and shadow areas around the church. When merging get in closer and use masks to get your selections better.

Thanks for all the feedback and kind comments.

I agree - although it does give them an etherial look, which is kind of appropriate given the subject matter. I tried adjusting to remove this affect using photomatix, but the results were very washed out.

At the moment my photoshop skills (and time to learn the required skills) are limited. When you say 'get in closer' do you mean zoom in to 100% or so in order to see the halos better, or does 'get in closer' mean something else?
