Description
This is my first HDR Attempt.I don't think it is my best though.I shot 5 different Ev settings from 0 to 1.33.I went to our Boiler House roof to capture this picture.I had to climb about 10 sets of stairs.It is a very high point on our station.Do enjoy though.

I think this maybe the first cityscape of Pretoria I have seen.it obviously is a beautiful city.
There are those dedicated exponents of HDR that will say this image lacks contrast, well it does, but that said, as it's a sunrise, I think it looks great with the golden light spilling all around, for a first go Christo, I'd say you done well, you don't specify the software you used to meld the exposures, this looks like the results one gets fron the merge to HDR via photoshop?...Which IMHO is next to useless, if you do work in photoshop Christo, try a plugin called Topaz Adjust, it will really help images along my friend,
Grab a 30 day trial here Christo
Nice shot and great advice from Ronnie!
EXCELLENT CAPTURE & PERSPCTIVE : )
I am with Ronnie and bravo my friend nothing ventured nothing gained and HDR tends to work best when there is a great range of tones and colours.
good to see you trying to get to grips with new techniques, and Ronnie has given you some sound advice too... for an HDR this seems really quite overexposed, it seems you took your metering from the foreground rather than the sky.. for sunrise or sunsets it's more usual to meter off the sky, and this will allow the tones to really shine through too... nice first attempt tho, I'm sure you'll nail it soon enough ;)
Nice capture Christo!
Aw, Pretoria, the city where I was born. Wonderful shot there Christo!
