Only things I had to play with was brightness and contrast. Yeah, taking out that yellow one might have been a good idea...Varegg wrote:
^^ Amazing colors, did you color enhance them? ... if so I would have cropped out the yellow flower in the top picture first ...
my local retailer (pictureline) has the 7d on their website now. it is "out of stock". i looked anyways, and found this.

Skin tones and the lighting associated with it is a different ball game. Course I shared this with burnzz the other day .. http://www.imagenomic.com/pt.aspx shh!

posted three to my photostream.
HDR, straight out of camera. 3 distinct and different parts of Utah, and yet all were on the northern Colorado River Plateau.
has anyone else dabbled with HDR? do you see any differance, vs. a normal capture? i feel HDR is one technique amongst many.

HDR is often overdone. The difference is usually very noticeable in the Shadows/Highlights. I'll use it sometimes to bring out detail. IMo it should be used just as a compliment. It's gotten fairly easy to do with programs like photomatix. It used to be you had to actually bracket your shots. Now you don't.
Xbone Stormsurgezz
i did bracket - +2, 0, -2.
i ran it through photomatix ( the full version, lord know's i got enuf jpegs on my HDD with "hdrsoft" plastered on 'em).
the thing i see about HDR (as done technically, vs. artistically) is it brings out the contrast differances, ala 'high contrast'.

Using your pic for example..
Original
This was with a simple shadow/highlight filter in PS and a highpass overlay blended with soft light.
The colors may be off, I'm on my laptop right now. But you get the idea.

i like it - the differance is i grabbed three exposures, vs one, used photomatix, vs. PS, and didn't quite get the highlights - i am studying the episode right now.
i know, technically, that you need the extra exposures - i hadn't known what they bring to the table tho.
if the light values can be coaxed outta PS, then the + & - values are superfluous. the eye is mightier than the beholder!
imma just getting my feet wet with the tools in PS, thx for sharing.

I really need a better camera. All the Jpeg's that I've worked with in Photomatix and that faking an HDR in PS have all turned out grainy I'd like to see how much of a difference RAW format would make.
Can you change your ISO on your camera?.. turn it down and it will help. Especially in low light situations.ebug9 wrote:

Any pic you are specifically talking about?
lol, it seemed they were 'hamming' for the camera almost every chance. they are attractive, and they looked like they were having fun.
i had to comment on the b/w constrictor? snake, anyways. how did you finish that? desaturate it, shoot it b/w in camera, the detail was preserved (and even highlighted) and the image was captivating.

I used a preset in lightroom.. "Simply Black and White".. then I did black/fill adjustments to fine tune it.burnzz wrote:
