Default My First

My first foray into HDR. Here are my very first attempts. Of course I don't have control yet over OVERDOING it! I'm sure with practice I'll get better. I am pretty excited about these though, even with all the noise...!

I think they look really great! The first one is my favorite. I've tried this before, and have realized it's not my thing. But it looks like it's yours.

Nice job. I can see where it would be really addicting to get into this technique.

your first two look good...the last looks different or perhaps unnatural to me...maybe it's me but I really like the first one

I like the first two as well. The third is a bit too much.

There are so many schools of thought on HDR. I like the Groovy or last picture setting but a lot do not. My recommendation is check out Stuck In Customs HDR Photography if you want to learn about HDR. Trey seems to be the leading teacher out there. I just purchased his book but there is a lot of free information on his website.

Very nice set -- I really love the second one, with it's wonderful textures.

These are lovely Veronica, but that second one is wonderful.

The first two are grand shots, the thirds foreground is great, but the background appears a bit overdone. Like it none-theless.
