Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Actually caught this scene in my rear view mirror while driving and decided to stop and see if I could make anything of it. Still learning here so go easy on me.....lol.


3 exposures
All ISO 100
All f/8
1/30, 1/8, and 1/2 sec.
135mm



Any constructive criticism would be extremely helpful. Thanks for looking.
 
Nice!
I am somewhat new also. Using different SS is a new one for me in the combining aspect. I keep seeing the 'bracketing' with exposures +/-, so what is advantage for this?
Nicely done.

I love the view but the edit is a little odd. It seems like theres a lot of definition in the scene yet still somewhat soft.
 
Looks like it might be a little windy... your 3 exposures = blurry leaves... I would up the ISO a bit to help with shutter speed. Or wait for the wind to die to do your exposures.

Thanks! Multiple exposures (-2, 0, +2 in this shot) merged in editing software will give you an image with a much greater range of detail. You can under-expose to bring the highlights in check, over-expose to bring out the lowlights, and shoot correct exposures for the mid-tones.................................................I think, lol. The more exposures that you merge, the more detail you can capture. I hope that kinda answers your question...lol. I only used 3 for the exact reason mentioned below, I was worried about small movement between shots from the breeze..........

Guilty. It was a pretty calm day, but to get everything still is probably asking too much. And I will admit, post processing is proving to be somewhat hard for me at this point. I really do like this scene and its super close to home so I will have to get back there and try bumping the ISO and see what happens. Thanks!
 
I agree with this. Great shot and great effect. The matching colours of the winding lines and leaves is terrific. But the blurred leaves somehow detract.

The composition/colors are great. You could try re-shooting on an overcast day and tone-map the single image.
 
This is a single exposure that I tried to play with in Photomatix Pro. Not much better I guess.....




Is it possible to lose "something" from the image when using a site like Photobucket? This one looks a lot better when I view it with my computer's default program.
