Yeah, HDR, the way it should be.

It doensn't look like a rainbow sharted all over your picture. (stole that line.)

Good job. More please?

[15:00:41] <SeeThirty> still better safe than lexi

nice pics. i really like the composition. but yeah, i just started HDR recently and none of my pics seem to come out "like a rainbow sharted all over them". they look quite good if i do say so myself. but what exactly are you (and i, i guess) doing to make it not look like a rainbow sharted on them. because i really dont want them too look like that.

lol thanks for the compliment. im not sure what were doing right to keep em subtle but i think the key is to keep the light smoothing and micro contrast in check. not too high, not too low but somewhere in the middle.

thanks again to everyone, and keep tearin em up!

I don't know, but it just seems a little to blue. It's fine for me but at times it can be to much, If you know what im saying. It's to much for the eyes to handle in one taking. For number two I think it would look better if the boxes where different colors. It would take the eye off the blue, and will bring the shot together. I doubt that will help you.

I havent taken any thing in HDR but thats going to be the next thing to move on to. And now that I have my Olympus E500 im all set

no.

not unless you're doing landscape photography.

he needs it more than you do, due to the small size of a point-and-shoot sensor, but i still don't see it justified here.

HDR is not a material item that can be taken from another.
HDR can be used on other things such as Landscapes buildings Nature ect.

i'm not sure if you didn't understand what i meant, or if you're mocking something i probably posted and forgot about.

i mentioned landscapes. landscapes are nature (atleast on this forum). so we're all set:

Your two pics don't really say anything. What's the story with them? The first one is could have been even better as a simple documentation photo if you would have left the wires from the corner out and chosen a different angle. For an artistic photo try and get some angles that say something: like, the box near the window: take a photo from ground level getting the box in focus and than the opened window in the background - it says "something".
I'm saying this but I also have a mental block when I'm on site (when I had my camera I mean). Than when I go home I think about the place and what I can capture there and make a plan - the next set is usually better better constructed with something to transmit to the viewer other than "blue".
Keep doing it (keep on to your camera!) and you'll probably get that spontaneity in time - or if not do more trips to the same location...

Just because the work doesn't speak to you doesn't mean "anything".
I think the photos are quite verbal.
