[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 12610, member: 654"] Eduard, you'er right about it being too centered. I walked around the area for about 30 minutes looking for a better angle to no avail. I finally chose this view because it was the best available. It's the same one that is used on the posters and cards in the gift shop. I really didn't want to use the same shot but if I wanted a good shot of the mill what you see is what you get. The mill is in the shade so there is no high tonal range between shadows and highlights to create the classic HDR everybody expects. I used HDR to bring out the details of the old wood structure. I also was looking for a photo and not the over saturated intense color you see in a lot of HDR shots. In fact if I saturated it any more it would turn into something very garish and not pleasing at all. I probably should have shot two stops under rather than one, because there still are shadows that have no detail. But that is a correction for another trip. [/QUOTE]
