Description
I downloaded the demo version of Photomatix - the HDR thingie that does tonemapping, using 3 diff apertures and merging them into one.
I cheated here ... :-/
I used the Photomatix in this ONE shot; adjusted the levels, giving me 3 different-looking exposures and carried on from there. I think it turned out okay, do you?
I tried doing this technique with a number of photo's, and I'm seeing it doesn't work well in all situations.
So, I took a walk down the river, with the tripod in hand, I was going to try doing this the right way. Well, let's just say this is the best I've done so far (this Duck shot); and leave it at that. My first try -- #1. lol
I'll keep trying though; as I love HDR effects.
Thanks for stopping and also for your wonderful comments on my recent shots; some really put a smile on my face :)
Have a wonderful Day ...

Another great picture erland
Looks good, my dear! Photomatix is a nice tool.
absolut fantastic. wow. I cant stop looking. nice warm colours. sam.
I think it looks great Shari, nice tone and detail, HDR is tricky...you did good kid! Paul
And you're asking ME how I take my photos?! LOL! These are fantastic!
Very nice! You did a great job on this one. Well done. Check out this site for more on HDR. www.cambridgeincolour.com
This turned out great! Excellent work.
Excellent picture, well done! :)
Perfect shot and pose, Shari! Your technique turned out great!
Awesome work ! gorgeous result , Ana
Looks like a little bit a painting picture - great effect and perfect POV
Really interesting effect and a glorious clear action shot. Filters look good! Makes sense HDR and action shots would be a plenty difficult mixture - A barn, now that's the ticket!
WOW, Well worth your efforts here! I love the way the Mallard contrasts against the suddell background. Outstanding Work!!
Magnificent shot, and effects, Shari. Not a wall full of ceramic ducks in sight. This one looks as if it wants to get somewhere .. quick. Regards, John.
Very nice work.
Superb!
Not sure I understand exactly what you did with HDR on a single picture ?! But anyway, this is really a great shot, Shari !
I think this is the best of the Mallard series. I never tried Photomatix on scenes like this but you've done well. Looks very pleasing to me.
Awesome work, I likeit very much, very well done!! Have a nice day Henk
Amazing shot.
This is stunning Shari. I have Photomatix Pro and haven't figured it out yet, anyway nothing as fantastic as this. Of course you have to take great photos like this one to work on lol.
Wonderful Work!!!
Wonderful results -- looks fantastic.
this is fantastic! love it
Perfect!!
