Subject isn't all that impressive, but I wanted to see what people think of my first attempt at compiling an HDR image:

eric

Did you use photoshop or Photomatix? In my little opinion, you made the same mistake most make with their first HDR; you used it on a subject that doesn't require it. Your photo looks like one exposure could have covered all the lighting just fine. HDR is great but you have to learn when it benefits the picture. Do another one tomorrow!

i havent done one of these yet,
but most hdrs ive seen are striking and bright, somehow this one is a bit dull, its a little dark.
but the colors are good. ill have to try this out when i get my cs3

I actually "dulled" it down intentionally. I thought the output from Photomatix was too bright.

Maybe I can let it recreate it with the "brighter" settings and post it up.

Here's a "brighter" version:

yeah thats nice.

i think the first one looked a lil weird coz the sky is blue and thought it'd be a sunny bright day, but it was a lil dark
