Old Truck HDR

[Jon]

I went to downtown Toronto last weekend and saw this old truck. Used HDR to emphasized the rust. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Camera: D7000
Exposure time: 1/90"
F number:9.5
ISO: 800
Focal length: 35mm

That's nice. What program did you use to merge these? Also, how many exposures and what was their difference between them? (by that I mean half stop, full stop, stop and a half, etc.)

Jon I like your photo. Since you asked I think the HDR is a bit over the top for my tastes. Bet that would look nice as a B&W image.

I love the picture but the one thing that bugs me is the shadow colour cast. A lot of time HDRing gives this false blue cast in the shadows and the red-majenta in the highlights.

Here is how I would have corrected it for my taste.

Marcel, I see what you mean (after you pointed it out!). My question, how/what (generalization) did you adjust that. I like what you did.

Saturation adjustments in CS6. You can adjust more than the whole "master" saturation. In that window, there is an arrow beside "master" and you can select whichever colour you want to play with and then mask what you don't want touched.

Hi Dave, I used Photomatix using 5 exposures at -4,-2,0,2 & 4.
