Default Before and After

This is the very first posting I ever did here at DPS. Let's just say the reviews were not that good



So, I decided to try again with my DSLR (first one was point & shoot) and all I have learned from my friends here!



Both are 3 exposure HDR, hope you like it!

Brian, much better! More color, depth and richness in your second attempt. You have come a long way. Good job!

Much better!! Much clearer image (equipment). Much better lighting (photographer!!!!). It's great to see how far you've come. Keep honing those skills!!

Hi Brian - certainly the "not so good reviews" were not from the folks here ... nice work on the HDR effect

Hi Brian. The shift in quality from the first to the second shows that you have improved youe skills in a big way, although I did not think the first shot was that bad. The second shot is so much more rich in colour tone, and the sky is wonderful for its clarity. Nice presentation.

Thank you all. I do feel I've improved and I owe most of that to this site and the wonderful people, my friends here at DPS!!

Looks to me the first one was taken on a cloudy day and the second one was taking in the morning light. You have done a great job. The first shot is not bad just the sky looks washed out. When you put it besides the second shot, it loses the race quickly. Second shot is very very nice. Great work there. This is the prime example of how we are learning from DPS.
