Storm cloud HDRs

Went out and took these today because the clouds were looking awesome. The ones of the mill ended up having a major white balance issue (all blue) so the HDR of that didn't come out too hot. I'm not in love with these.

It's kinda hard to tell what the clouds are doing, because they're blurred from the exposure. So to me, there's nothing special about the clouds. Other than that, they look fine. 6/10.

Yeah, they were moving pretty fast. It would've been better if I had taken them with more daylight, but yeah, whatyagonnado.

Yeah, clouds at night that look badass are hard to photograph without them turning up grainy.

#1 needs the saturation dropped.

#2 has no contrast whatsoever. For the second time in two days I'll say it: doing HDR doesn't mean that's the end of your post processing. This one needs levels/curves badly.

Yeah, I did, some. Not enough, though, eh?

I actually did a ton of post-processing on that one. For whatever reason, the white balance was off BIG TIME on my originals--way washed out and bright blue. I put a warming filter on it and played with the curves a bit, but I guess I still didn't put enough contrast like you said. The originals are so screwed, though, I'm not sure you could ever make a really good image out of them. I probably shouldn't even have tried.

And actually, looking at it again on a different monitor, the color still looks fubared. It stills kinda bluish/purplish.

I agree...it needs a little more contrast, but other than that I like that one.

Yeah, I need some help with that actually.

Say you've got an image in photoshop that's pretty washed out and REALLY REALLY blue because the white balance got fubared. What exactly do you want to do with it in Photoshop? Like what do you need to adjust? I played with it for a while, but I'm a photoshop newbie.

Dont be so down on cloud movement. I think its better to have movement then a still life of some clouds. Makes it more alive.

I climb stuff!
