There wasn't much wind about but I think the tree looks a little off.

Actually, the tree is not off. It seems to add a dreamlike quality that is totally fitting!

I have always admired St George as a tough old dude. You ever try riding a horse bareback while you were naked?

No more family jewels after the ride...

Nice shot Buckton.

But I wonder about your math. To me if 1/640 is 0, +1 should be 1/320… If you really got 1/10, then it's about 6 stops over. Was this a typo or did you manually do the 3 exposures?

 

[buckton]

dunno, I just wind the dial until the light meter says it's a stop over and a stop under, then copied what little exif data iPhoto provides. iPhoto actually says they're all 0 EV and I know thats wrong.

Althought I like the shot, I honestly don't see the HDR effect. Looks like a regular photo to me.

Thanks for the feedback guys, fotojack I like to keep the HDR effect low and more realistic looking, sometimes I tonemap a little more funky but this shot didn't really suit it.
