Cool shots and nice subjects~ Are you using a polarizing filter?
Went hunting for something cool to shoot. This is what I came up with. What's your thoughts?
What's HDR?In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Those are neat photos, but they don't necessarily look more realistic or reflective of the actual scenes (to me, anyway). They look a little cartoon-like, though I don't mean that in a bad way. Just very high contrast.

Yeah, HDR photos can often look less realistic and cartoonish. I overdid them a bit, just to see how they would come out. Less intense processing, and they look better but less "popping", so to speak.
Yes, that is our new house, the middle one. I need to cut the grass, work on the windows and roof, and paint it.

They're not overdone to my eyes, Robert and I'm not a big hdr fan. The processing seems to have produced some odd halos around the buildings in 1 and 3 from where I'm sitting. The pics are too small to see if that's in finer details. You have some very picturesque buildings round there.

They remind me of of how postcards used to look like.

Quite well done Robert. Quite subdued and not to OTT like some HDR's can be. I do find the halo effect around parts of the structures a little distracting, and something I've done quite a few times with HDR's that have sky in them is to use the original sky and the HDR version of everything else. This of course requires MUCH more work in PS though.
Something like this...
Blue Mosque from AND by Ch0jiN, on Flickr
edit: actually that second one (with the tree's) is perfect just how it is....
Cool Ch0jin!
I updated the house... did a bunch of manual tweaks in Photoshop. Better?
Otaypanky, no I didn't use a polariser filter this time, although I usually have such a filter on when I'm photographing outside when the weather is nice and sunny.

The non-tweaked one I don't have anymore. The one with the "halo effect".

Nice picture Robert, hope you don't mind but it is now my desktop wallpaper.

I love it now Robert, totally worth the extra effort to even out the sky. That's absolutely a "print out and frame it" kind of shot and I'd be quite proud of it.

Great shots Robert. Looking forward to some guitar porn....hehe!!!
Here is my Viking! OOOPS! I posted this in the wrong place... this is not an HDR photo. See the Best Guitar Photo tread for guitar pics!
