Dirk, I have to admit that like Lilly, I am finding the world your photographs are presenting, is totally entrancing. Thank you for sharing them with us.

You read it?

Why on Earth would you do a thing like that?

Dan

I read it but as it was wikipedia I didn't actually believe it!

The pseudo-hdr technique boosts up the dark areas without losing fine detail in the branches, and also meant that I didn't have to muck around with masks to process different areas differently.

I hope you don't mind but... I wanted to try a technique for turning a single JPG into an HDR image, so I downloaded your original "dark image" and used Silkypix to create versions with +1 +2 and +3 ev, then used Photomatix Pro to create a pseudo-hdr image

Better, worse or same?

I've kept my 18-55 for "traveling light" (with the 50-200) and like John, use the 16-45mm most of the time. Occasionally I use my Sigma 12-24 (if I was buying now, I'd definitely go for the Sigma 10-20), and my telephoto of preference (& budget) is the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro. For real macro work I use the Tamron 90mm SP.

Hmmm, putting it like that I have a some lenses I rarely use. Can't bear to let them go, just in case...

Richard, thanks for the news. Of interest, yes, unfortunately my funds are as scarce as Sigmas used to be!

P.S. there really ought to be an emoticon for doffing a cap!

EDIT:----

Sorry Liam, I seem to have hijacked your thread!
