Danger!
Wow would look good in HDR Maria,


Hate to dosagree with my old chum but HDR has me reaching for the anti-emetic tablets! Great location, Maria. Right up my street, not literally, you understand...figuratively!
Best wishes,
Andrew

What are fractions, and rules are made for breaking.


If it were me....
It is a great candidate. If you want me to give you some pointers just private message me and I'll give you the breakdown. You would need three tripod mounted exposures for the best effect, or three very carefully shot handheld exposures above 1/500 of a second and for fun you can use three different f-stops starting at wide open down to f16 or something for the last exposure, but remember you want 1/500 of a second for best effect. This is just to freeze the potential tree movement, you can clean up ghosting in photomatix, but it is a tricky process that doesn't always work out the way you want it to. If there were no wind, a tripod, then shutter speed isn't that important as long as you don't over/under expose. One other thing is noise, it's additive, each photo has noise and when combined into hdr one can get three times as much noise assuming you are using three photos. Photomatix tries to eliminate noise, but usually I will remove that later.
I often will play with metering points when bracketing, depending on how the camera is exposing or specifically where the camera is exposing from. Filters are good here as well.
Extended bracketing is also useful when exploited...
I don't know if you have photomatix, but they let you download a fully functional version for a month for free. Good to get a feel and see if you like it.
BUT it is a cool picture just the way it is!

Thank you Andrew, i do agree to an extent but then i've also seen some wonderful subtle HDR on the gallery.
Kind regards Maria

Yes HDR. The tricky bit is the greenery. I would HDR it to get texture and tonal variations and THEN convert it to mono
