Gary this is really nicely handled. Not too much (I'm a bit dubious about HDR), perhaps a little rich in colour.
Could have done with you an hour agao when I was trying to balance the light outside/inside this old building I was photographing!

Andrew

I agree with the "rich in colour" Andrew, but I did want to leave it "as converted" in Photomatix. As a starting point, it shows what can be achieved and then could be re-worked to bring the colours back to normal. This was my first try with the software.
I have another shot lined up which will be a night time image so I will post once its done.

Are you using the pro or light version?
I was having a look at the light.

It's a useful tool when the dynamic range is simply too great. I used it on Sunday for this shot, which hopefully isn't an obvious HDR:

Looks good to me Tim. I think HDR has a place in specific situations. I do like the obvious HDR stuff though and have a few favourite Russian colleagues that do some wonderful work. IMO.
I will spend some more time with HDR and would like to use it in the sports area. I have another shoot in two weeks and may do a group of RAW shots to play with HDR. I normally shoot full size JPG.

Electronics have a long way to go before they will beat the human eye. The camera only gets a single instant of light. The eye scans, usually two of them, and forms a picture from a continuous stream of data. The photographer is trying to reproduce that.
Lets face it, the limited dynamic range of digital imaging makes subtle use of HDR techniques necessary to get closer to what the eye will see, for some subjects!

Basic HDR version
I am not sure about the increase in saturation and maybe this could be lowered. Processed from three exposures -1, 0 and +1. Original is at 0 comp.
Your thoughts?
