[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 830603, member: 50197"] Here's another of my current favorite tree at the Boneyard beach. It's similar to others I've posted, but each one is unique with changes in the waves, sun's position, clouds, and reflections in the wet sand. This one was made from 2, 5-shot, 1 stop increment, bracketed strings edited to a single HDR image. I normally only use one 5 shot, 1 stop increment strings, but I had taken 2 strings back to back, and decided to use them all this time. While this type of subject seems perfect for HDR, I find there is not that big a difference in the final image, over choosing the best exposure in a bracketed string. Sometimes the HDR is slightly better, and sometimes a single exposure edges out. I can generally get more detail in the tree with an HDR, but usually prefer to leave it more of a silhouette, for esthetic reasons. I also removed a few distracting stumps and branches to clean up the image a bit. Have I mentioned, I'm not a landscape (seascape) photographer.
