1 HDR shot..

don't shoot me! I thought it came out pretty decent...
I'm going to keep working with the other shots I took and see which one looks better. I got tired last night and didn't feel like working on it anymore, so it's still a little noisy. ^_~

I always like your photography. This is no exception.

i think that this is a really cool shot, and i dont think it looks like HDR at all, which is another thing i really like about it.

This is a great shot girl... keep up the good work.

I don't know what about it I don't like, but I just don't like the sky. The rest of the picture I like it a lot.

Thanks for the kind words guys!! Sentinel, I know what you mean. I really wasn't satisfied with the sky myself.. I'm gonna keep working with some of the others and maybe it'll come out better.. ^_~

Post the photos that you used to make this. It doesn't look like HDR which is cool, but it doesn't look like it needed to be HDR either.

I took 3, and the other was way too blown out, so i didnt even use it... but these are the ones I used..





I didnt like the lighter one the way it was and the dark was too dark for my tastes, so that's why I did it like that. ^_~

Its cool but I think you should try using a lower iso. Also its only two shots. I wouldent call that HDR I would call it bracket and blending. Did you use a hdr program for this? Theres a very easy way to do it even with the older photoshop versions.

I forgot to change it when I went outside. It was black as pitch inside, so i had it at 200, but i should have changed it to 50 outside... I tried really hard to get rid of the noise but to no avail... ^_^

A 2 year old Canon Powershot, not the best camera in the world... I can't afford another one right now though..

Thats cool, ive come to the conclusion that when I was using a cheap digital that I should have went out and bought a cheap slr film camera and steal a bunch of film from some big company and just get it developed as cd only and negatives. I feel I would have improved a lot quicker. Just my feelings since I got my rebel digital. Its only like 2 or 3 dollars for a roll of film to be developed with cd only, at least around here.

I like this because it's a great perspective - when I look at it, I feel like I'm actually looking up. It's also good because it's HDR but it doesn't look ridiculous. In fact, the effect is really subtle.

That's actually how I shot it. No cropping or rotating at all. ^_~

I have an old Canon AV-1 that I shot some with too... I have yet to use the whole roll yet, but I'll definitely get them on a CD when I do have it developed.

i like this shot. the colors, the angle, the composition, are all nice. you are getting quite a bit of color noise though... what ISO are you shooting at? if you cant lower your ISO at all, you could lessen that noise a bit in photoshop.

photoshop would not get rid of it... That's really the onle prob with this camera I have is the noise when I shoot in color.. it's not so bad in B&W.

I've tried both.. I think I just need a new camera... maybe the government will be good to me and send me money in a few weeks. Tax time, ya know? ^_~

This is very good. Nice tonality for an HDR shot...I like that you didn't just blow away all the shadows and make everything a midtone. The image still looks right and has drama. You kept the lights as the lightest thing in the frame and the darks as the darkest thing in the frame. That relative brightness is what keeps images looking right. You brought in shadow detail without blowing the shadows up and making them too bright. That's what 99% of people do wrong with HDR...they don't understand that the darks should still be dark and the lights should still be light.

The only thing this image needs is a pass through noise ninja or something similar to get rid of the noise in the sky.
