I forgot the name of this temple, but it's on the lowland just below Phanom Rung in Buriram.

Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24mm @ 24mm

3 bracketed exposures (+/- 2 EV), HDR-blended with Photomatix

The other two photos were taken on the way back to parents-in-law's place, on small road somewhere in Roi Et, just before sunset. The colours are exaggerated, giving an almost cartoonish look. I assume not to everyone's taste, but I think I like it (Should put "Isuzu - Dragon Power" in the corner)

Very nice - especially the 1st shot, although maybe it would benefit from a little perspective correction. The second two have a few blown highlights that somewhat spoil them but still they look good.

I'm not usually a big fan of HDR but you've certainly put together a very good and appealing set here.

Maybe I should re-think my biases !

thanks for sharing these

Interesting eerie effect.

What is HDR?

A new one on me.

High Dynamic Range, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging.

What is HDR?

HDR is a way to display a higher dynamic range than what is normally possible - that is, scenes with a very high difference between the brightest and darkest areas. You bracket several exposures of the same scene, and the software cleverly utilises details from each to create the final image.

I find Photomatix very easy to use: http://www.hdrsoft.com/

It works on both single exposures (pseudo-HDR) and multiple exposures.

Thank you so much "NordicMan" for this post.

Would this work with .jpg or only with RAW photos?

It works on both single exposures (pseudo-HDR)

I take photos in Raw+JPG, Oly E-3, so I have tried it and the results are below:-

OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. E-3

1/160s f/4.5 at 14.0mm iso100

Original JPG, re-sized only

and after using "Photomatix Pro 3"

with very little adjustments and re-sized the photo.

What do you think?
