trying some more HDR stuff...... Which one do you like best?


#1

Best

I like one and three. But three would be my favorite with the Capital guy adding another dimension to the color.

The kids kept calling him Paul Bunyan....lol

thanks Robarooni

I like all three....

but I think the colors in number two are spectacular. I think it gets less votes because it is vertical and cannot be viewed at once. I love them all. Keep giving us examples to shoot for (!) Thanks. C.

I like number three. The capital building with the pioneer on top gives an immediate sense of place and size. The sculpture is also a strong base lending for a stable composition.

Three thoughts:
1. Clean the dust spots
2. It looks like you used a wide lens and sometimes you get a red/cyan fringe between darks and lights. I see that on my monitor along the right edge of the tallest part of the sculpture. Depending you your software you might be able to correct that.
3. A minor tweek. What annoys me sometimes about HDR is that glow that sometimes occurs in spots. It's ever so slight in yours and you might be able to do a slight adjustment to remove it.

#2 would have been my favorite for the colors and texture of the sculpture, but I can't say I like the sky color.

love the feedback, thank you.

Janice, I cleaned my sensor today

Mike, I am new to the HDR stuff and I really struggle to get consistent colors, It's rather annoying. I am hoping to get more familiar with it all as time goes on..... my ultimate goal will be to merge HDR with the other techniques that I am much more familiar with, like off camera flash.

I like 3 the best...I use to live near Salem and I miss seeing Paul Bunyan...

Ok latte, what is HDR?

I cant wait to move to Portland, so much to shoot in the Valley..

I like them all, but as others have pointed out, #3 is the best for it's composition. I rather like the "glow" look. Now if you could make the Golden Pioneer (Paul Bunyon?) glow, that would be the cats meow.

HDR is short for High Dynamic Range, the basic concept is that you are blending several images that are exposed at varying levels
