Default Bridge HDR

This is my first attempt with HDR. Does anything wrong immediately come to mind? There is strange darkness around the first tower, i don't understand it.

Bay Bridge

Those halos are pretty typical for an HDR that some would say has gone too far. One thing I would recommend is straightening your horizon.

I would start by reducing noise (use noiseware pro if you can get it, or noise ninja etc...) then mask out the halos around the bridge that make the sky around it look whiter than in the rest of the picture.

other than that, I would consider trying to boost the contrast of the background (such as the city an clouds) as they look a bit pale and washed out.


the new crop is much better by the way!
