Description This is my first real attempt at true HDR photography. I took a set of 3 photos using the aeb settings on my camera. I just shot the photos hand-held. (My tripod is still packed away from moving...) Then, from there, I took them into the HDR merge function of affinity photo and I proceeded to spice it up just a bit more with some extra adjustments. I intend to dive deeper into this kind of photography and see what I can achieve. I think my iso settings were a bit too high. I need to learn more about that. Overall, I am rather pleased with the results I managed to achieve here, even though it doesn't quite seem to have that classic hdr look. (Or at least, I don't think so...?) I really enjoy the richness of the colors. 

If anyone wants to critique this or give me any kind of advice or pointers, I'd be very happy to hear what you have to say!

I don't know much about photography, but this is really quite nice .I love how you brought out the colours, they almost seem to be glowing

Thank you. The colors in this photo are definitely far more impressive than they are in the real world. Thank you for adding it to your favorites. I appreciate it all.

Nice shot!
If you like HDR I would recommend a program called Photomatix, it's awesome.

It looks great! I love the fact that i can see your fingerprints clearly! A slight detail extraction could have brought it a bit farther into the classic HDR look.

Thank you! I wanted to bring more detail out, but the noise in the photo made it look awful! I might try this again using the luminance noise reduction technique I've been learning about and then bringing out detail. That might yield a nicer result.
