I also love to work with HDR and think you have done quite well. HDR will leave a lot of noise in the image, especially in the sky. You should take care of this with some blurring at least... Very nice though! Glenn
-
Interesting style - looks like we have similar ideas for our interior hdrs... lol. Very well done! Glenn
-
Vera, with this one I am a little bothered by the lack of shadow detail - the statue especially is kind of lacking. I would also pull the bottom left corner out to the left to straighten the perspective on the left side of the image.
-
Just excellent Vera!!!
-
Beautifully well done Vera! We have both come so far... great to see your work here! Glenn

For me, it is simple. This woman is beautiful. She has a large but not ugly nose. The photographer, consciously or not, chose to shoot the woman with her head tilted downwards and with a darkly shadowed nose - this gave the nose MORE weight. She is still beautiful. Take care! Glenn

Love the mind-bending originality! Not sure that the building does much for the image... however, it is YOUR dream not mine and I love what you are trying to do. Take care! Glenn

Domen, I think you did the right thing rotating this because it adds a lot to the feel. I really love the overall atmosphere/tone which, in keeping with your title, makes the cat seem almost sinister in it's intention... hunger is a funny thing. And by the way, the tongue is perfect. The thing that really makes it though are the subtle diagonals under the cat's paws, which give the image a foundation... it always bothers me when photographers completely mask out a background with black because I wonder if we are supposed to think the subject is just floating there or something...? you did this perfectly. Cheers and take care - Glenn

Really sensual and beautiful - though I do feel like I am missing out on seeing what her mouth looks like... well done though! Glenn -
Faisal, thank you for your kindness. I was happy to check out your hdr images on Pbase... the first image of the mall is very well controlled for hdr. However, when I look at the rest of your portfolio images I ask why anyone would want to use hdr on these kind of scenes when they are already doing a spectacular job with traditional night photography. These interiors that I shoot are practically impossible to capture with traditional methods so I use it out of necessity. I wish I had your expertise in other areas of photography!

I am assuming that you used hdr here and so my comments are directed to your technique - I really like the image. You have some beautiful textures here and the lighting looks quite natural. My only two small criticisms would be (1) that the upper part of the boat still shows some haloing from the tonemapping; (2) hdr tends to leave the cyans way too saturated in some areas and your choice to leave them in the water in the foreground seems to cause the foreground water and background water/beach area to clash... I would try to knock down the cyan so that it matches a little closer to the brown/grey tones in the rest of the shot. Otherwise, nice work! Glenn -
After seeing the different crops and comparing to the original, I believe it is the presence of the extra lines in the wall and the diagonal of the models lower leg that gives the original crop a solid visual base. The crop at the left gives the impression of someone with too much weight on her shoulders and the crop at the right does not warrant mentioning as a viable alternative. Very interesting study here! -
Personally, I do not believe in that whole 'purist' thing. I think we as photographers should be pure to the 'here and now'... so if that means that as you survey the entire scene and decide that something needs to be changed then so be it. After all, do you shoot in direct overhead sun or do you wait a moment for a cloud to provide cover and then shoot? Were you 'a purist' when you decided to shoot 'as is' with the wrong lighting? About your shot - what it says to me now is that you shot toadstools with a needle on them instead of shooting simply a beautiful cluster of toadstools... my thoughts and opinions only that will be contested by the next commentary - take care! Glenn -
and to you also Ruud - take care!

Very elegant portrait - love how the texture in her hair balances out the smoothness of the rest of the image. The only thing I wonder about is that the crop seems a little tight on the right... still a very striking image though! Glenn -
Thank you very much Chris! Merry Christmas!

I call these 'Interior Abstracts' because I am only seeing shapes
and colors... my purpose is to have my image busy but balanced at
the same time... if you find this and my other abstracts interesting
then perhaps leave a comment. Thank you and take care as always -
Glenn

Thank you very much to all of you. I am really glad you like this. Take care - Glenn -
Something that is a cross between my Interior Abstracts and some new
ideas... 2 of the shots are 3 exposures blended; the third is a
detail from the first. Hope you will comment if this piece speaks
to you! Take care - Glenn

Very well done! I saw your response to a tone-mapped image earlier and had to check you out... you certainly know how to handle this technique. I am finding more and more people who are having success with these distant landscape shot merges. Great stuff and keep going - this is beautiful! Glenn -
Thanks Alex. Believe it or not, this was just two shots here - he moved his hand for the third exposure and my G6 is pretty slow in these situations! Glad you like the interiors - Glenn -
Ah, exactly what they said when color photography, moving pictures, sound in movies....on and on and on... (just kidding) When HDR is done correctly, it is simply a way to add more detail to an image.

Alex, you are very skilled with this technique! People have been asking me also about this - I usually use it for my interiors and have not had luck with the landscapes. You are the second person who has shown that it can be used well outdoors, but I notice that both of you have used it on distand landscapes (even though you also have a foreground element. Anyway, wanted to say 'good work' and also ask what you are doing to shoot the 7 or 9 exposures? I have just used auto-bracketing for 3 exposures... are you just changing each manually and hoping that the tripod does not record any movement?
