NordicMan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 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) (Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24mm @ 12mm) -nm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited June 1, 2008 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlys Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Interesting eerie effect. What is HDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 A new one on me. High Dynamic Range, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Interesting eerie effect. What is HDR? A few links relating to HDR http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml http://www.good-tutorials.com/search/tutorials/hdr Should keep you busy for a while!

NordicMan Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Interesting eerie effect. 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. cheers nm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan Win Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 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?
