TedG's HDR Photos

You can also take only one photo and make multiple exposures while post processing for an HDR image. Lots of us do that.

Thanks for the tip Ted! I tried it last night... worked well, made 5 exposures (4 plus original). It was quite easy.. No photo to share because the base photo was not all that good... just wanted to try the technique.

Again, Thanks!

I really like these Ted. Seems your use of HDR has improved quite a lot since you've got the new camera. I guess 5 exposures do make for better HDRs. Or maybe you're getting a little more conservative with the treatment.


Thank you. Actually, I'm just getting more conservative. This whole series was done with my D5100.

I agree Ted. I find myself backing off on certain subjects. For me the increase in shadow detail is enough. I really like the ability to "move light around" when processing.

I think it is totally normal to take a new technique to it's limit. It's all a part of experimenting and learning the controls in the mean time. I did (and still do) like playing with the wild colors and skews. I still enjoy seeing a good vibrant HDR, but I'm becoming much more selective.

The baked beach scene (posted as an example) is too much, but the fishermen on the end of the pier is "just right" (for me) as an HDR technique. But above all, I am very pleased with the "straight" shot of the beach scene as an example of a good camera, lens, and subject recipe. And, again, I refer to my disclaimer below.

The owner likes the Keys, and goes there often. On each trip, he tries to "aquire" something as a souvenir. Over a 20 period, he has obviously "aquired" quite a bit. I can remember when there was only the water fall. Water fall? Yep. If you look close enough, you'll see it. The atmosphere is good and the food is excellent.
