[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 11826, member: 654"] Helene, oh yes a much better shot, very sharp, much better definition and details. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Just as you posted your list of corrections we were walking out the door and didn't get back until late. Your list was what was needed and the result was a very much improved shot. As you pointed out it's easier to do it right the first time. What I have found out from my own experience is that HDR in low light situations tends to make the final merger more intense and dramatic. As has been pointed out more like a painting. I also found out that to get a more natural look to a low light HDR use fewer shots in the merger. You can also do some post processing to the individual shots prior to merging to get different effects. Is there another light, like a street light, off to the left of the building adding light to the shot? It looks like your WB is set more for the light coming from the lamp over the top of the building (6300K?). That other lighting is adding a blue green tint to the shot. Changing the WB in the final HDR merger in post processing sometimes dosen't have the range or effect you may be looking for. In that case change the WB in each shot or combination of shots prior to merging to get more of what you are looking for. Just some observations from my own HDR experience. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
