|  | | | I finally took a stab at doing HDR's today. Before I'd only managed to get my feet into the bracket and blend pool...comment/critique appreciated as always.

| | | | That last shot is awesome! Sorry, not the most helpful criticism... I don't know crap about HDR, but I like the way these look, except for 4. That shot is kinda weak, I wouldn't have bothered processing it.

| | | | This is how HDR should be done, minimally.
The only thing that "bothers" me is the halo around the top left side of the TV. Looks like a cool place to shoot.

| | | | I agree with previous comments about number 4 and the halo around the TV. I like these shots. But personalty, I like the way your shots are procecessed when you do b&B's. The more natural the better. As subtle as these hdr photos are there's still strange coloring and light stuff that happens with hdr.
But all and all good job. Keep on focusing on your composition first. Because nothing makes up for than t.

| | | | This is a good example of how HDR should be used. 5 and 7 look kinda odd in places, but it's definitely not as bad as some other HDR's I've seen. As far as composition goes, 5 just feels a bit awkward to me; it seems like the skates should be just a tiny bit further to the left and I would like to see the left edge of the window in 6. Other than that, it's good.
IMHO it's around 8/9 out of 10. Overall, you did a good job with these, even though I picked them apart a bit

| | | | The purpose of bracketing and HDR processing is to capture a scene where the dynamic range exceeds normal exposure conventions so that no detail on the extreme sides of the histogram is lost. In lehmann's, the natural lighting of the scene has too much contrast that a normally metered exposure will cause either the shadows to be underexposed, the highlights to be overexposed, or both. A window shot on a sunny day from inside is a good example of a high dynamic range scene, where everything outside the window will be overexposed with a normally metered exposure, or everything inside the window will be underexposed.
That being said, bracketing and HDR processing is supposed to solve blowouts in the highlights and clipping in the shadows, and this effect was not achieved in shots 2, 4, and 7. I don't mean to sound harsh (I know things can get a little sensitive in this section), but knowing the purpose of such photographic techniques is prerequisite to using them successfully.
On the flip side, the scenes depicted in 1 and 5 do not have an excessive dynamic range, so using HDR processing in these would at best achieve a very stylized look, would at worst be superfluous.

| | | | Thanks for the recent bump explosion of advice!
I'm wondering, how can you do both B&B and HDRs simultaneous. Is that possible and if so, how do you go about it?

That is what I said, and then I saw it.
My eyes are still burning.

This is what afforded my explanation; it's not HDR without bracketed exposures.

Well they are varying bracketed exposures. I'm just not sure how to do the normal erasing of preferred area when also doing HDR. Is there a way?

Most HDR photographers use Photomatix: http://www.hdrsoft.com/
I personally add no tonemapping, but I've done a fair share of DRI's. I use a Lightroom plugin called LR-Enfuse: http://www.photogr...ducts/lrenfuse.php
If the ones I pointed out actully are combined bracketed exposures, then your bracket range isn't wide enough. Set the bracket range in your camera to +/- 2 stops or more, or consider taking a 5 or more exposure bracket.
