Default Ford 4100

a local farmers tractor on a welsh country lane, with my version of the HDR treatment.



As i am kinda new to using photomatix and the whole HDR idea, what are your opinions folks on how i have used the software on this image,

I know there are various forms of HDR some very subtle to get the full range of shadows & highlights which works really well IMO, but on this ocassion i have overdone the processing on purpose.

Cheers

Daz

I dont thinks a bad HDR at all if that is the look you were going for. The only thing I hate about it and not just yours but over the top HDR's is that blacks seem to lose their blackness....such as the tires and exhausst stack on this one....
I usually go back in and burn the black areas to get the darkness back into them.
I like the subject and it works well....
