After trying my hand yesterday with HDR's through Photoshop CS5, i was not overly impressed with the quality of the finished article.
I threw the question out there to see what people thought and a better package to use other than PS CS5. My blogging buddy Tex over @ run-a-roundranch suggested PhotoMatix Pro.
I tried this new program with some of the photos from yesterday and these are the results

It looks as though it's going get wet, not too much on the shiny cars.
ReplyDeleteyour right Bob. It hammered down with rain not long after this.
Deletecool! glad you tried it out based on my second-hand tip! :)
ReplyDeleteAll is good Tex, the program works fine. I just need to refine my technique now.
Deletei think you've done a great job with them! have fun playing around :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tanya, i will get the hang of this one day. My Fiancee Gemma has just bought me a HDR book to keep me quiet.
DeleteThinks can only get better
Nice images Shaun... I must try it myself.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, you live in such a beautiful area to use this technique to the max. Get out there and get snapping. Id dont suppose there would be anything to lose.
DeleteInteresting perhaps surreal, but an effect that could pale quickly. Boom And Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Gary, although if done subtly you couldnt tell the difference between HDR and a normal photo. The only change noticed by the keenest of eyes is there is a better tonal range to the overall photo due to the different exposures.
DeleteI think these look good too Shaun... probably a matter of taste as to which program is "better?"
ReplyDeleteVery nice, it really does "bring out" the details!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs! I joined your blog and look forward to seeing more :)
