HDR Tree Stumps

Comment by Someamateur:
How did you get the stumps to stand out so well. They are the first thing my eyes saw. Great picture.

Thank you very much for your comments.

When posting on DPC, I usually will says "excuse this" or "excuse that" if I think that is what DPCers will notice most of.

For example:

On this shot I said "not the most photogenic area" because I felt many here would jump on the Chaos of the scene and not the HDR picture as a whole.

Thanks again...I really like the shot too!

I really like the fractals and seeming chaos of the branches, and the way you've framed the scene with them. It makes me a bit sad how this site is so focused on overly simple shit. And let's be honest, that's what it is, simple, one second shit. If I'm ever going to put something up on my wall, it's going to be something like this, something to look at, not the typical DPC single-subject, single idea, two-complimentary-colour crap I've seen too much of. Please excuse my tangent, but I had to say it. Love the shot. Favourite of your hdr group. Cheers

Yes...the horsie is oversated IMO also. I paid the price of trying to bring out the trees and dead branches and "painted" the horse in the process.

I'm still learning though.

Thanks

I have heard about this technique ... I don't have Photomatix so cannot play with it.

To me this shot looks half way between a normal shot and an HDR image (as some have said this technique produces)

It might just be me but the horse looks well over-saturated.

Having said that, I think the trees here have a certain 3D effect that could not be produced without tone mapping. Interesting stuff. I look forward to more of your experimentation.

If you get it much better than this, I might have to go out and buy Photomatix so please don't get too terribly good at it! LOL

HDR is a wierd name for a boat LOL, That is the right kind of boat for the waters where you live. Nice reminder that I need to get my boat out and do some fishing.
