2 HDRs from this weekend

Gonna break the rules here and post two photos. Both of these are 5 shot HDR images, courtesy of Photomatix/Lightroom/Photoshop.




Found this old tractor by the roadside. There were several other pieces of farm equipment nearby, so I had to shoot down low to hide the hay baler that was just behind this tractor. Using a tripod that's about 2ft off the ground is no fun.




Cedar Falls. Hocking Hills, OH. This is just one of the cool spots in Hocking Hills. This is in a state park, and open to the public, so it's difficult to get a good angle of these beautiful falls. I would've liked to have shot a wide landscape angle, but there were at least 30 people here. I used 5 shots on this one too w/ a shutter speed of 1/6 and a tripod to capture some motion blur in the water.

What were you doing taking pictures this weekend?? Weren't you busy getting married?

Gorgeous HDR shots, Anthony. My favourite is the waterfall one.

Hey, she married a photographer...she knows the deal!

Great shots, really like the old tractor

Nce shots. I love the tractor but wich the exhaust pipe wasnt so dark. that is the very first place my eye goes. otherwise, it's great. The waterfall = win. Sure, a wide angle would probably suited this one a bit better, but it looks great like this too! oh and Congrats on getting married!

I just love the waterfall. Just the right amount of HDRing. Nice composition and perfect result.

Anthony, good HDR shots. A little too much on the strength slider for my taste, but that is a matter of likes and dislikes. The strength setting shows up in the tree and sky line in the first shot. A little wider angle would have been better but under the conditions you had to shoot in you take what you can get. Still a good shot.

Here is a cool landscape shot of the falls in someone's Flickr stream. It's difficult to describe the location of these falls, but it's basically in a large hole in the ground. Because it's also inside a forest state park, sunlight is not plentiful. Throw in the thousands of tourists who visit this site daily, and it's difficult to get a good photo.

This is very personal, but I prefer your shot to that flicker one.
