St. Laurenskerk, Rotterdam

This folder contains some first 'try-outs' in HDR technique. I've

looked at quite a few HDR photos and while the results can be

spectacular, too often they look too unnatural IMO, although that

seems to be more a matter of the tone-mapping settings used than the

HDR technique itself. I've tried to avoid this by adding the original

photo as a layer with an opacity that I thought gave a natural

result. The (heavily restored) church itself -in my hometown- is not

particularly beautiful or interesting (certainly not compared to the

others in my portfolio) but the light-colored glass made the HDR

technique very suitable (although some photos in this folder look

pretty much the same without it). The tone-mapping is done with

Photomatix pro. Comments are appreciated. If possible, take a look at

the 'large' version.
