My first attempt at HDR, I have no idea if it's even done properly lolTaken from my bedroom window.
Edit: I have toned down the green levels on grass in LR 4

It loosely translates to, 'Waking up to the countryside'.

Looks great to me, but I'm not well versed in the ways of HDR.

In some ways it could be considered you have got the perfect shot in HDR because one of the really frustrating things about photography in Ireland is the sheer craziness of local light levels. Being Irish and originally from a broadly similar sort of countryside I think it is a wonderful capture of all the shades. You are right, probably the worse part is the grass but I have seen skies, hills and houses look exactly like this on one of those maddening Irish summer days where brilliant light is replaced by thunderous dark in minutes and all the colour and light combinations that happen in between. Well done Ailish

Yes that's one of the things that I dread most about taking shots like that here. Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

I do not know what 'HDR' is, but this is a very nice photo! What a nice view to have from your window, and the colour is so vibrant, too!

HDR is a tricky bitch to tame

Ugh I know, I was at that for over an hour and a half and I'm still not happy with it! I think the grass is way over-saturated tbh. I'm pretty much hopeless at PS when it comes layering etc, yeah i understand, I've seen some really over-the-top HDR images and I wasn't sure if that was the right way or not, until a friend of mine who's a photography student told me that it's meant to be subtle, so that put me on the rightish track lol. Thanks for your in-put, much appreciated!

Yeah I've had trouble with the radioactive grass before alright, almost every time in fact haha, I've taken to just slightly desaturating the green channel (using lightroom 3, RAW files) until it looks somewhat non fluorescent. Ever since this iamge [link] I've been mindful of the green and yellow channels and their effect on grass, stupid Ireland and all its stupid grass! If you ever have any questions or anything I'm always happy to help people, that's mostly how I've been learning so far and I'd be quite a dick if I didn't share what others have helped me with

The contrast is nice, also love the colors, the rooftops seem a bit over exposured, but other then that, good job. And seems that you live in a wonderful place. The landscape seems gorgeous!
