Description Sort of. I used the HDR merge in Corel to merge three adjusted versions of Little Blue Buds [link] . For the dark exposure I adjusted the photo dark and added colored edges. For the middle exposure I just used the regular photo version. For the lighter exposure I used the infra-red effect. All three merged looks like this. Hope you enjoy.

aww HDR is quite hard, i tried it once but the picture was just awful, and the quality was miserable

anyways it's a beautiful shot, I love the colour of these little flowers :>

The program I used has an HDR merge feature, which takes a lot of the work out of it. It's just getting the exposures to use that could take some doing. I tried out four versions with some other flowers, and two others with these flowers, before I managed this one. I'm glad you have enjoyed them.

Thank you. I'm hoping to get opportunity to shot some photos for doing this. But i'm not sure if it'll work anyway with scanned in 35mm film prints. The dark exposure may not work. Underexposed film tends to look foggy and orange. Hmmm. We'll see.

It's very nice, but what exactly is HDR. I really like the infra red effect.

Here's a link [link] . This photo here is'nt a totally true HDRi, since I did'nt have the exposures to do it by the book. But I downloaded that trial sample of Corel, and I really wanted to try out the HDR merge they have there. If I have time I'm going to be trying more stuff, too.

Very nice work, a much more subtle "flavour" over the original

Thank you. I was happy with how this one turned out. THis is the third try using different things. First time using the HDR merge, I didn't have any exposures shot just for doing HDR though.

definitely enjoy. love it how the light seems to play with the buds, or the other way round.

Thanks. The layer that is infra-red really brought out those highlights.

Thanks. I have'nt shot any photos specifically for doing an HDR. So I thought to maybe use three copies of one photo, add effects to a couple of them, then merge. This was a third try with different things.
