Description Hi!
Looky look what I've found
This is another HDR. I was on my way home after taking some pictures and found this really old tumbril with a tank on it.
Sorry for the noise in the sky, I tried my best to reduce it.
Tonemapped, d&b'd, minor color and curve adjustments.

That's a cool photo!

I just joined the HDR club in hopes that I can learn to do this too.

Outstanding capture and work in HDR. I think you nailed the composition and the color tones.

This is nicee! Only the grass is looking extremely sharp to me... maybe some blurring over it to make it a little smoother.. but yeah thats just taste i think great job!

HellKn1ght In reply to ubT [2007-02-28 18:46:04 +0000 UTC]

Others told me that they liked the grass especially because it appears to be very sharp. Actually it's not really sharp, it's just the huge contrast that makes it look like that.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!

I can see why this is your featured deviation, lovely crisp clarity really makes you feel like you are there on a cold dawn.

this is beautiful.
i love HDR photography, and i'm begining to try some myself.

are you changing the shutter speed in each photo, or the aperture?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

HellKn1ght In reply to ShaDaRadar [2006-10-25 13:21:27 +0000 UTC]

The shutter speed of course. Changing the aperture would also change the depth of field, which is rather undesireable.

The colouring is really awesome. You really highlight the tank up, so it really is the main focus.. Keep up the good work

CatchMe-22 [2006-10-13 08:52:05 +0000 UTC]

I really like this shot too... perfect exposure, great composition and the abandoned, wild look really comes thru... the only thing that bothers me is the line at the top left corner, it's really outta place and I think if you get rid of that in photoshop this would be a flawless shot!

HellKn1ght In reply to CatchMe-22 [2006-10-13 09:26:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's a cable between telephone poles. For me its okay, because I know the place. For people that just look at the picture without knowing the area it can be disturbing. Thanks for your comment!

CatchMe-22 In reply to HellKn1ght [2006-10-13 09:38:54 +0000 UTC]

I could tell that it's a telephone line, but yeah it's just a bit distracting cos it doesn't really contribute/fit into the picture, and as photographers we always try to make every pixel count!

Wie du selbst sagst, nach dem ZusammenfΓΌgen brauchst du ein Plugin. Ich benutze das Tonemapping Plugin von Photomatix. Nachdem du es installiert hast, kannst du es in Photoshop unter Filter aufrufen

This is one awesome photo!
The mix of colours is great as is the overall composition. And the exposure is just right!
To be honest, I barely noticed the sky-noise!

well done!
