Out on the Palouse

This is a first attempt at a HDR photo. I would like your feed back. Don't

worry about hurting my feeling, I lost those in the accident. Comments

appreciated, ratings to.

I think that the big mistake most people make with HDR is it looks like HDR. if you use it in moderation only heighlighting certain areas it enhances any shot. There again some shots using HDR demand more use if you want that surreal look!! In this instance I would say that you have done all the right things. No abnormal colours, no halo around the barn...in fact I have to look very close to find any instances of it at all..Therefore Jim to sum up....bloody good job....Take care!

I could not have said it better than Keith.You have done an excellent job on this.

Also agree... nothing wrong with HDR, if you can't see that it is HDR! I am wondering what conditions made you want to use HDR. Did you also HDR your "Fair Weather Barn"? It wasn't noted as HDR and has similar lighting.

 

Well, regardless, an excellent capture.... good shot(s)... Mike

 

 

Beautiful work, Jim!

Agree with all said here above. Great job, Jim. Compliments, El

Doesn't look like an HDR photograph; therefore I like it. Like Mike, I am wondering why you chose to use HDR on this image; other than you were just trying out the process. Looks like a lighting situation that could have been relatively easily handled by the camera. I really like the gun-metal greys and earth tones in this image. Well seen and captured. Cheers! Chris

Thanks all for commenting.

 

Michael and Chris-

I love to tinker and this is something that I found interesting. Couple things I have found is that compared to several pictures I had previously processed and posted conventionally , like Fair Weather Barn, is the amound of detail and depth this process gives. I am going to continue to experiment in different light situations (I have read HDR works really good in bright sunlight). Thanks again all for the input, your experience and opinions are invaluable.- Best Wishes-Jim

The image is earthy and natural..the color variations pure..Keep up the excellent work...My best..Marjorie

Love it! It reminds me of scenes here in upstate NY.

Excellent composition and subject. Could have been done without HDR, but you are right in trying new techniques. Nice image Jim!
