Hi
I went hiking on Friday in Dana Wild Reserve in Jordan; and as usual, took many pictures, But this time I utilized HDR in all of them! (Ohâ€Â¦ one of the photos here is not).
Maybe someone would say "It is time consuming to process them in HDR"; actually, I found it takes less time than having to do PS fixing on so many layers of each image.
Would you please take a look at them I tell me what you think of the work, thanks you all.

| If it's more than just comments on the HDR maybe you could provide some background info (why you pressed the shutter, shutter speed and aperture used etc). |

I fixed the aperture at f10 and the ISO at 100; and the shutter speed was varying; I took three shots for each image; one with two stops over and one two under. |

i see some HDR processing in the photos, but it is very minimal to the work I have done, i would have taken the colors to more of an extreme, if you look at your photo and look at my edit, you can see a grey mask over your edit, my advice for doing HDR is to try to get that grey overcoat or mask out of the picture, try to bring out the colors a little, if you like, oversaturate them, bring out the deep colors of the shadows and deepen the color of the lighter areas, this processing took me about ten minutes of selective saturation and a little bit of selective dodging and burning, If you want ill go over the process with you,

If HDR is the only reason for taking the pictures, fine. There's no need to get huffy about it. |

I think he wanted a critique on how they coulda been improved as a HDR photo and the processing, not just there fine... |

I guess your mind reading skills are better than mine. ;o) |

Colette, bold type notwithstanding, I see nothing in Tareq's post that I would classify as "huffy." He simply answered your question. Since it's difficult to convey or detect tone of voice in a typed message, it may be best for all concerned to assume good faith.

I dunno what it is but most of them look weird. The one of the guys face is strangely grey, the one of the rocks looks alien and abnormal and the one of the kids seems strange because one of them is glowing and the rest look kinda grey.
I've no idea what you did but it certainly is unusual.

All bold type is just like all caps so excuse me for not ignoring it. |

did you use photomatix to do these? or i believe its called that, but it tends to leave a grey ring around the skyline and subjects that oppose it, just a minor over tone with the program that is common to happen when using photomatix in landscapes with the sky

Tareq,
I'm not sure if your monitor is accurately calibrated or not, but overall they seem too bright and lacking contrast/depth.
I did a 30-second edit each on a couple as an example:
---- to ---> 
- Opened, right clicked image, duplicate, then right click on layer and chose blending modes, used drop-down and chose Multiply, set slider to 40%, hit ok, flattened and did a minor vignette.
---- to ---> 
- Same process as above, changing blend mode strength to 50% instead of 40%
Look at the before & after Histograms:
(granted I was post-processing for a richer, deeper look)
Taken only one simple step further:
--- to ----> 
From my edit, went to Image, Adjustments, Match Color, clicked the Neutralize box, slide the fade to 50% and the Luminance to 200%.

Brad
Thanks man; I will have to give it a much deeper look. What you did is really good.
Thanks again
