How about posting your HDR images?

I used the 3-exposure post process set up and not the in-camera HDR.

Both were ISO100 and F16

Controlling the effects retains a still-realistic appearance to the photo. I took this one yesterday and used HDR conservatively.

I took this one yesterday as well, but let the controls loosen up a bit.

More power to those who like it but "grunge" HDR isn't my cup of tea. Here's a couple of "lightly baked" shots where I used HDR to enhance what would otherwise have been a challenging lighting scenario.

Those look perfectly baked to me.

Very nicely done!

I'm not sure what "grunge" HDR is, but it's like a brand new toy to me. Until I get bored with it, I'll be playing with it for quite a while. I thank this site for the discovery.

"Grunge" is defined as the over-baked, cartoon-like HDR. I see a lot of it on this forum. That's not a knock on the style, BTW. The term actually comes from Photomatix (still the best HDR software IMHO) and refers to one of their preset processing selections.

That style of HDR is actually quite popular with consumers at fairs and art festivals lately. Those photographers who are most successful at it are processing their work to look like oil paintings.

How do you convert the Photomatrix format to JPEG? I can't figure that part out. Thanks.

After you process you go to menu<file<save as

 

[TedG954]

After you process you go to menu<file<save as

I have tried that. The only SAVE AS options I get are:

.HRD <radiance RGBE>
.EXR <open exr-ZIP compression>
.EXR <open exr-PIZ compression>
.TIF <floating point TIFF>

....... none of which opens in Photoshop, Paintshop, etc.
