One from a walk on Sunday. I didn't have my tripod so had to sit the camera on a fence post, which meant I couldn't lose the distracting guff above the bridge with a better angle

Nice subject but the processing is a bit too OTT for me on this one

Thats ace!

Downloaded the new 4.2.2 photomatix and its presets are much nicer than the old ones, and theres a nice post processing tool for contrast/colour and sharpening too.

This is the default profile with a touch of contrast.

Wow!

MonkeyPrince - you have so nailed HDR.

Many thanks for the kind words, I'm a long time lurker on these forums and it's only fairly recently that I've been brave enough to put anything up amongst the amazing photo's I see you guys sharing

Great shots - all very nice use of HDR and nice compositions too - foreground foliage is a bit distracting in the first shot though for me

Hi, and thanks for the compliment

I use the SX40HS for all my photo's now, and I use an old version of Photomatix Pro for the HDR processing

Hello, a very grovelling and embarassing request but how do you inline more than one image? If I click the 'Insert Image' just above this text box then it only lets me do one at a time. If I do the 'Manage Attachments' then they have to be really small file sizes! I've checked the FAQ and searched and searched but can't work it out!

I just really want to join in the HDR fun times, please help!

Great shots, but 2 is particularly beautiful



Was it from a single or multiple shots?

Here's one from a walk today (shame about the padlock)

Thanks MonkeyPrince! They are all done with 3 bracketed shots each.

Love the motorbike and didn't see the padlock at first! Adds something to the image though.

Not entirely happy with this, but it's good enough for a touristy shot.

I like this because it doesn't scream HDR, it's a subtle and nice shot. Shame there wasn't anything interesting going on in the sky but that's not your fault and it keeps the image clean anyway.

Anyone else to share? I'll be uploading some more soon, I have a backlog of images to process!
