ETA Love the second shot... hdr really works there (IMHO)

As long as people look at hdr and realise 'It never looked like that and never will', I think it's great.

particularly love the second shot

[miniman]

All great, but the second shot is bloody fabulous.

[Scoobydougie]

Fantastic shots, love 1 + 2!

[toastboy]

Poah, if you've still got them, can you post the original photos with normal exposure? I've yet to try out HDR successfully (need a tripod) but would like to see the difference.

[poah]

1st is done purely because my original exposure was crap lol the other two I did just to see the results. pics are edited to my liking but not a whole lot done to them RAW + velvia vision and some contrast

[JohnS]

Even the un-HDR'd shots are excellent. I like the 2nd and 3rd ones the best

[Andy M]

MUCH prefer the latter two shots.

You're a good photographer and don't need to resort to HDR IMHO.

[Tracksport Dave]

Number 2 for me

HDR can actually give some nice effect when used properply. best way is to actually get a properly exposed shot in the first place then adjust from that. gives it a different look which some people like or don't. its not overly processed in terms of HDR.

Sorry to dig up a relatively old topic.

HDR can look great, but is totally overdone in 99.9% of cases. Here's a guy who knows how to use it:

any chance of that 2second one being bigger? Fancy that for me background

[poah]

which one?

[SirSimon]

the lake one mate.

[Andy47]

Three very good shots!

[Graham.J]

Fantastic shots (HDR or otherwise). I think I need to give this HDR thing a go as I'm seeing it about more and more these days.

The first shot is my favourite out of those three, closely followed by the second. And if there's any chance the first could be made into a 1280x1024 wallpaper I could do with a new desktop image!

Nice work
