Description One of my photos of the local cemetery at Bangalow, taken during daylight.

I added some spooky bats and the Moon using PS ( I messed with levels and colour and tones too) , to give it some zip and extra spookiness!

this is a very interesting cemetery, I'm curious as to how this would look if you did some HDR photos of this place near sunset

The bats are a great touch

I've been playing around with it a little bit lately... I'm afraid I'm still overdoing most of the HDR images. It does however have the tendency to result in some surreal, dream-like images.

Do you use a special program to make them?

aokpsycho In reply to ozplasmic [2010-03-05 20:41:31 +0000 UTC]

you can use adobe photoshop and it has a built in feature to play around but I was able to get my hands on a copy of photomatrix which is a straight forward easy to use program that does an even better job Pretty much what you do is take several photos of your subject while bracketing its exposure. When you piece them together to form an HDR you end up with an image that shows more detail and a broader tonal range than you can normal capture with a camera in a single exposure.

I only have PS1, apparently that feature started from PS2 onwards!
Did some reading up on the subject and it seems that dedicated software is the only real way to go.
Must keep my eyes open and try to find one somewhere.
Thanks heaps for the info.

yeah, that's what i did. found a friend with a copy of photomatrix and went from there. I do have the latest photoshop but that didn't seem to meet the desired results.

cheers

fortunately these are items that you have uploaded! Otherwise, there is reason to believe that a cemetery was really very spooky !
