[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 290815, member: 6277"] There are just times when their is just to much contrast to get the photo you want. To me I want my photos to look like what I see in the real scene. Actually that is not quite correct. I want them to look like what I see in my mind when I look at the scene. I want bold color and lots of detail. Sometime I get it and sometimes I don't. There is a scene just down the street from me of a pre civil war factory and the mill dam. I use that scene to test all new equipment and techniques. It is positioned wrong for sunsets. I did see a sunset a few days ago that I though might work so I grabbed my camera and went down the hill. I shot 5 shots brackets at 1 stop each. I shot probably 10 of that series at different stages till the sun was gone. I processed two of them and posted them here. They aren't what I want yet but I did try and it is far better than what I got with a single shot. Photography is a very personal thing. Some may like HDR and some may not. Some like it natural and some like it overcooked. All good no matter which way you like it. Here are my two that I still think are a tad overcooked. But I will try again.
