First attempt at HDR - 03-12-2010, 03:36 PM


Sedona, AZ on a terrible day for photography. Sun was sneaking in and out of a heavy overcast.
These are done with Photomatix Pro 3.1 without the benefit of reading the tutorial which came with it. That's my next move. C and C are most appreciated.

I like the contrast of the rock formation and the sky in #1!

I think they both look very good. not over the top. #1 looks very natural to me

I don't have enough experience with HDR to offer any CC but I'm glad you shared, beautiful locations.

Very good processing Bill. The Photomatix Pro software can easily over process it if you allow - you did a good job in making these images look realistic.

Wonderful job. They look well balanced, not overdone which is easy to do.

Wow! You guys are too kind. Just hook up Photomatix and "let 'er rip". Ok, I can do that. Thanks again.
