HDR M6 pictures (first attempt at HDR)

325 Baller · 06-08-2009, 06:12 PM

I decided I had to at least try HDR once in my life, so heres some of my first attempts at it. I used too high of an ISO so there is some noise in the pictures, any criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Too high of an ISO = noise

but it looks pretty cool as an artistic image, it just feels like a slightly weird crop

iheartsole · 06-08-2009, 06:20 PM

looks nice.

datbimmerdoe · 06-08-2009, 06:23 PM

Great for your first attempt.

whoops thats what i meant..what ISO would you suggest using?

325 Baller · 06-08-2009, 06:25 PM

The other one has way to much noise...im going to try to fiddle around with it and reduce the noise.

conversely i think it looks fantastic

edit: just noticed the cars kind of blurry, which leads me to the fact that my main focus wasn't the car, more then glow in the sky :/

that was my exact problem with this picture..the car is too blurry. Im going to go out tomorrow and shoot some more so hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow I will have mastered the photo taking portion of HDR and turn my attention to PP (post processing)

nice!

Glad to hear you got the picture taking part down

Yeah, HDR is definitely tough, especially if you're doing it artistically. Have you tried reading up stuff on the internet on PP, or are you just trying to wing it as you go?

325 Baller · 06-08-2009, 11:50 PM

Ive read a couple techniques. Im mostly trying to figure it out on my own though. Any tips?

Bimmeration · 06-09-2009, 12:00 AM

i thought they were all nice.

Hoothout · 06-09-2009, 12:43 AM
