My first try at HDR.

Comments ad critics are very appreciated

I dont know that is the HDR
but still the photo is very very nice
just lake looks not clear.

[Adriver]

it looks alright but I'd say process it a bit more to bring out all the detail in the picture.

Very good exposure (oh well it's an HDR). Yes you need more detail, it looks kinda blurry. Try my sharpening tutorial, it's in the members only section. Try searching.

Theres not really any need for HDR in this photo and it just lowers the quality?

Nice though.

[cC.Aleksander]

@ Rob: i guess it's no need, but i wanted to try out HDR thingie,so:P I might process it reguarly later tho.

And thanks guys appreciate it.

Oh and btw marti, i've used your tut several times:*

Also, did you take 3 exposures? Because the top right still has blown out highlights, which shouldnt happen with HDR. If you just saved 3 exposures from RAW then this will happen.

[cC.Aleksander]

i did 5 exp. with raw files. so. I shouldnt do it from the RAWs?
Thanks m8

If you save different exposures from one Raw file then you don't actually get different dynamic ranges as you just use the same information for all exposures. If you take different exposures with your camera then each shot will have unique information and you'll get a higher dynamic range. With exposures from the same shot you get 16 bit (if you use tiff) and with different exposures you get 32 bit, when doing HDR. So what you've done here isn't really HDR, it's just tone mapping. But it's pretty much the same thing.

It isnt HDR because he still has blown highlights and shadows. If you had taken that shot, and exposed for highlights, and then exposed for shadows, then you would have true hdr.
